| 1173939 | 2011-01-31 01:09:00 | I can get a EVGA over clock 1gb 460 GTX for $319 + shipping or a Asus GTX 465 for $360 + shipping. Which should I get? also what is the ATI equivalent is it a 6870? and if i have a nVidia chipset should I stick with a nVidia GFX card? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1173940 | 2011-01-31 01:16:00 | 460 is the sweet spot for this range of cards, best bang for the buck. Don't bother with the 465 or 470, price to power is not worth it. |

| 1173941 | 2011-01-31 01:21:00 | Are the performance gains in a 465 noticeable (I honestly don't care about the extra $40 dollars)? Also I have heard that the gtx 465 might be discontinued? Does anyone know the power consumption difference (psu watts wise)? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1173942 | 2011-01-31 01:25:00 | The gains are minimal, I did a lot of research when I brought mine and the gains on the 470 are not enough to make it worth while. If your considerate of price buy the 460, if not get the 580 (was 480 but now the 5 is out why go lower) |

| 1173945 | 2011-01-31 09:15:00 | Will go the way of the gtx460. Cost less and requires 100w (minimum) out of the psu. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1173946 | 2011-01-31 21:25:00 | The 465 is a bit of a fail, it generally gets beaten by the GTX460 1GB both at stock. I would go GTX460 1GB with a good custom cooler with factory OC, and OC it more like... www.computerlounge.co.nz EVGA is a good brand but the one your looking at prob only has a reference cooler. The ATI6870 is also a good choice, half dozen of one 6 of the other. |
