News Nvidia GeForce GTX 465 already available to buy

Shame really :/ Nvidia need to lower their prices, then it would be a good competitor especially for SLI

 

Money no object 480 sli is tempting

Reality wise even the 5870 is outta most peoples budgets

 

Will these card perform better that a GTX 285? If so I might have to get one or two. How about three! 3-way sli!!!

 

It's worse than that. The GTX465 is £250 on Scan, which places it between the 5850 and the GTX470. It gets hammered by both.

Then you add VAT, as he did.

Well, his point is that across the full spectrum, you'll get more for your money with an ATI card.

5850 + £30 > GTX465
5870 > GTX470
5850 CF > GTX480 + £20
5870 CF > GTX470 sli
5870 tri-fire > GTX480 sli + £60
5870 quad-fire + £60 > GTX480 tri-sli
5870 quad-fire + £400 > GTX 480 quad-sli

 

from what ive read overclocked 470 tri sli is the way to go.

 

Didn't feel the need to add vat and if I had the end cost would have still been different because his first figures were wrong.

And the other one implied that a serious gamer would not buy a Nvidia card and not that a cost conscious buyer wouldn't buy one.
which make's your price comparison irrelevant.

 

The way to your highest energy bill ever, that is...

 

******** much? I was £1.50 off. Oh wow. That will really change the value of the card.

 

nuff said

 

Well by my maths it would make it more expensive but not BS your figures was wrong "fact".

But every time there's a thread about these cards we get all these idiots with their stupid comments like could have cooked my dinner on it and the street lights dimmed and so forth.
And no serious gamer would buy one.

Its boring and adds nothing to the topic, And it seems that anyone that dont run with the rest of the sheep is in some way a retard.

Please shoot me if I every become like every one else.

I'm not going to get into a flaming match over this because its never ending
and brings down the tone of the of the forum so this is my last post on the subject.

 

Greetings!

Actually, its not "nuff said".
Those are just the purchasing costs, you still need to add the extra costs of the GTX265 over the HD5850 in energy bills.

 

Where did you get your exchange rate from?

FT close for the 31/05/2010 puts the dollar at 1.4530 (or 0.6883) making a $280 card cost £192.70.

An exchange rate without context is useless as I could give you a variation of the above by the second for the 31/05/2010.

It is quite possible that both you and Ph4ZeD are correct, it its perfectly possible that you took an exchange rate from different points during the day (it moved 25 basis points between your posts for example) - looking at my live quote graphs for the 31/05/2010 this is perfectly plausible.

To state Ph4ZeD is wrong is simply incorrect.

 

If you look here you'll see that the GTX 480s in dual-SLI can significantly beat dual-Crossfire 5870s in some games. Given that ATI's scaling isn't great, it'd be safe to assume that in fact for a few games 3 5870s=2 480s.

Just saying, not trying to start a flame war

One area where nVidia are ahead is SLI scaling, especially Fermi. I showed this when I bought your 260GTX and did my little benchmarking and I increased performance by 84% in Crysis at Very High settings.

 

No, I'm saying that across the spectrum, the nVidia cards are not the fastest. No matter how much money you're spending, you can almost always get a faster alternative from ATI. No matter how much money you had, the faster option would be found with ATI. not the cheaper option

Thus, unless you're a complete moron who irrationally and blindly buys a single manufacturer's products (ie are a fanboy) there's no good reason to buy an nVidia card.

Exchange rates can change massively in short amounts of time. Saying his figures were wrong without evidence is bad practice, because at the time he checked, his figures were probably right. Also, Expedia only updates their currency information once a day, so if he used xe.com or google or whatever, he'd probably be more accurate than you.

Exactly, which is why I did pit three 5870s against two 480s. Two 470s are bested by two 5870s, however.

 

Interesting, their current conversion rate is nothing like the current spot rate....

(current spot is 1.4695, source dailyfx.com - very useful).

 

Cepheus - I used xe.com

 

lol

wow...pretty sad debut for the 465.

 

Aye, just saw the x-bit review too, pretty woeful. I waited for the nVidia options to come out but was sorely disappointed and went ATI again (but I still hate ATI drivers)
