i knew this b4 i bought them
main use of mt cards is f@h
Sure, but don't tell me you're not gutted that you now have three and can't strap them all. The TF is worth the extra pennies IMO. It's got a fatter fuller GPU on it and when cooled properly (as that one does) it will slaughter the 460.
We have tested a 460, which is actually the model beneath the 465. It's pretty woeful compared to any 465, much less the MSI one.
So actually this version utterly out-performs the 460 which is why we didn't bother comparing.
Which can not be ignored. Yes, the 460 is a cracking card and for the money is amazing. However, it's sometimes not going to be up to what some one wants. I understand your enthusiam for the card as it's been good to you, but I don't go around telling everyone to buy Crossfire 5770s because they're amazing and run cool and use hardly any power. (not replying to VB of course I just wanted to put that there)
The 465 is a better more powerful less cut down GPU. It was never a bad GPU it was just too hot, same as the others that came on release. Now though? well, it's been proven beyond doubt that when cooled properly they are VERY good GPUs.
unfornatly the gene only supports 2 gpus + im pretty sure 2 is enough for me i thought the 465 was worse than the 460 the hawk and the twin frozr are pretty much the same I think?
They are worse when the temps are not in check. However see my above posting. The 465 is a far superior card WHEN the temps are reigned in. Release units used smaller versions of the 2 series coolers, which were crap on the 2 series. Example, the 465 used a smaller version of the 2 series cooler that wasn't even adequate on a 260 (it was bigger on a 260 too !) the 470 used a cheaper looking 280 cooler which wasn't adequate on the 280 and the 480 used a 280 cooler with go faster pipes. None of which was very successful at all, proving Nvidia just DO NOT have a clue when it comes to cooling.
MSI do, and, with the twin frozr proved once and for all what a fantastic GPU the 465 is *IF* you can control the beast within.
however there is a bit of a price gap and i like the look of the hawk quite abit more than the asus hmmm. im open to all suggestions
