OC3D Review: Asus GTX465

Hopefully non-reference models will enhance the cooling and provide better clock speeds. If done right this could be a winner. But the reference card looks like it's not.
 
silly pricing......lower it by £50 and it could sell alot.

seems non reference is been pumped out by a fair share of companys.

Something definitely afoot with ur cuda encoding.

My 9800gt can scalp an oc'd i7, by quite a factor.

£234 @ Scan atm, which is halfway there compared to the rrp. These class cards are still overpriced imo. Despite the reviews' bias towards the 480 still being the most expensive single gpu, which it hasn't been for a while now, these lower cards like the 5850 (circa £250) should really be cheaper. Especially when they've been out for a while.
 
Feel free to point out which card is more expensive than a GTX480 Rasta, cos the most expensive ATI offering, the 2GB 5870 Eyefinity 6, is still cheaper.

£422 for the Eyefinity, but I was thinking £396 for the 2GB Sapphire.

Either way you cut it, which costs more ? Personally I was thinking there was nothing in it.

Cheapest of both models that you could go and buy right this second.

So there is PLENTY in it.

Don't be silly, when you're wrong, you're wrong. That's the 1G version. And the point in fact, as you well know, is the statement was that the 480 is the most expensive single gpu - which it obviously isn't.

And as I stated in the previous article on the 2G 5870, it hasn't been the most expensive single gpu for a while.

Sumo suits would be great ;) But the professional thing to do would be to either research both this and the previous 5870 article, and/or make the correction once the mistake is picked up.

The foolish thing to do is to back yourself into a corner arguing the point.
 
there are more points to be considered other then just the price.

Like heat, fps to the £, amount of sound the card kicks off, the amount of overclockability and lastly stability.

end of the day the 5850 bettered the 465 in most cases and for £20-30 cheaper i think :D

But my point is, if the card was bellow the price of a single 5850 by around £10-15 it would be a very viable card and have meaning in the market.
 
Well you could compare the "hit the scene price" to that of the 5850 or what it was, but that would be complicated.

Despite the downfalls of getting the 465 over the 5850, you'd still get one of these over a 5850 in so many months time despite what each of the cards has to offer ? I wouldn't myself.

The Palit and Inno cards will fall into the price your hunting, at release time I believe. They're likely to exhibit differences in the cooling, whilst retaining the same reference pcb, depending on some things I'm sure they won't talk about.

Not sure the Galaxy ones will even come out, they are working on something else, and MSI are set to take up alot of space with their offering.

So, these will hit the shelves lower priced - you gonna get one on that basis ?

Spending ~£250 on a gfx, for me, you get the type and brand you want. Not get the cheapest. £250 I don't think is cheap for a mid range, or lower-upper card.
 
None of the cards are cheap tbh, Nvidias just havnt come into their own yet. The Ati's have whats needed NOW ie fps and they support everything that 90% of current games require.

The Nvids will stay pretty much the same for years now where as ATI will be chasing their tale adding extra features in.

Smart money NOW for games @ £250 is the 5850 as it overclocks like stink, and is still quiet.

Not obviously at all. 5870 is 320-odd. 480 is 395-odd. How on earth isn't the 480 the most expensive single GPU? Really I'm curious to know.

If you want to get stupidly pedantic and claim that the 5870 2G Eyefinity 6 is the card to compare with then it's STILL 390-odd. And therefore the 480 is still more expensive. Albeit barely.

But the difference between the 2GB and the 1GB is tiny at best and only for those who desire 6 monitors. You can get all the performance of the 5870 for £70 less than a 480. That's all there is to it.

The foolish thing would be to argue something vehemently when you clearly are wrong. But then you're King of that aren't you.
 
The old 1G 5870 are 320, the new 2G 5870 (non eyefinity badged) are 390, the 480 are 390, the eyefinity labeled are more.

You can also pay upto 500 for both if you chose.

There's nothing in it. You're being silly, King of ? You wanna now tell me your dad is bigger than mine ? Come off it, your a mod ffs, well green designated anyway.
 
You're right Ghosthud. But it's so green in them thar valleys that some people can't accept truth.

Much like proclaiming me a mod. Or Admin. Or anything at all other than a volunteer writer.
 
You probably saw the 'green anyway' bit, which should give yourself a sense of some dignity.

The premium cards, link removed, start at around £700+ for an 8700, which is a fine card in it's own right.

The article says the 480 is the most expensive single gpu on the planet - which it isn't. Simple as that really.
 
Ahhhh. I see. Sorry I didn't realise you were going to change your definition of "GPU" once you realised you lost your original argument.

Would you have been happier if I'd have put "Most expensive single GPU that isn't strictly designed for professional use or rendering farms"??

Just accept defeat and move on with your life.
