More GeForce GTX 465 Details Surface

[RavenXXX2]

LoL they keep swinging that old farcry 2 bat in not so obviously massively optimized Nvidia games the 465 gets beat of the 5830 in crysis, looks like fail if it comes in at £160 or above.

More details have surfaced about NVIDIA's upcoming GPU which is on the low-end of the GeForce GTX 400 series, the GTX 465. Chinese website eNet.com.cn published some lesser known specifications about the GPUs, which pieced together with known details more or less completes the picture. The GTX 465 has not four, but five streaming multiprocessors (SMs) disabled from the GF100 core, yielding 352 CUDA cores (against the earlier known number of 384). With a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, the GPU has 32 out of 48 ROPs enabled, and makes use of 1 GB of memory.

Out of the few benchmarks the GTX 465 was put through, it scored 5488 points in the eXtreme preset of 3DMark Vantage, which is roughly 20% less than what a GTX 470 would manage. It is said to have outperformed the ATI Radeon HD 5870 in Far Cry 2, while was notably slower than Radeon HD 5830 in Crysis Warhead. The GeForce GTX 465 will be launched on the 3rd of June, at the Computex 2010 event.

If that comes out at the indicated (guess?) £225 then they may as well not bother releasing it. That's 5850 territory and no doubt a 5850 will give it a right kicking.

Disappointing unless you really must have Cuda and dx 11 support.

Worst than that are the other rumours it's going to be 300 euros so about £270

You can get a 470 for less than that now

same clocks as a 470? most fail

 

[AMG]

hmm, don't see the point cos of the HD5850

also how well will it overclock? how much power will it take etc

 

[gurusan]

Assuming it's made from failed GF100 chips it's unlikely to be power efficient.

And noticeably slower than a 5830 in Crysis? :/ FAIL CARD

Is it just me or do Nvidia really need to do something about the 5770! They need a low power directx11 card that just pushes past the previous range of mid-range cards (260/275) for £120. That would make me swap my setup for SLI in a flash as I do miss Nvidia.

The 5770 is selling so well and it's the only choice for budget to mid-range gaming systems, this is where the 465 should attack isn't it?

Awful card.

At £225 this will be taking on the 5850.Nobody should buy this.

If i needed Cuda (or wanted Physx) i'd buy the 470 which could be had for ~£40 more and deliver far superior performance.

I thought that a launch price could be more fail than the 5830....

I was wrong, thanks for that Nvidia.

 

[Locky]

That's a 150 quid card MAX

Nvidia really are crap atm.

Just like the 5830 the expensive chip and hefty PCB/cooling must be hurting it.

 

[RavenXXX2]

This needs to be in 5770 price territory to make an impact.

re:

Maybe a good idea to see what they are actually priced at when on sale instead of jumping to conclusions

But it is'nt now. Most places have the 5830 priced at £154-180. OCUK is probably the most expensive now by a long shot.

Not so bad

 

[jigger]

Its a Fermi based chip, its going to be poor because its simply a crap design to start with.

Only the one card though. Most places have several cards in the price bracket i suggested.

Thing is, current lower 5830 prices ARE the launch price, its just the UK knowing consumers are daft and will pay what they ask, or more importantly they know they can put the prices up, catch a few people who don't know what they are doing then lower the price a little at a time and milk it for all its worth. SAme goes for the 5870/5850, anyone paying over £160/£200/£300/£450 for the 5830-5970 are completely mad. THe 5970 was supposed to be around £440 RRP, its not faster than 2x £200 5850's, why you'd pay more for less I don't know.

Really I think its quite simple as to where the 465gtx lies and why it blows, it should be a 450GTX(maybe less) considering the drop in shaders and bus down from the 470gtx the pricing just doesn't work/nor the name which suggests where it should be performing.

The problem comes from the crappy yields and clearly having a bunch of them to sell to try to stop the bleeding, and the fact that if they name it where it should be then the mid range derivitive will have to be named lower again.

If this was named/priced at £150/450gtx like it should be the midrange would need to be 5770 price and performance, but the midrange is likely to cost £150-160 and perform only marginally better than a 5770.

I said this ages ago, make a product with horrible yields and you'll run out of space to name/sell them at and it will interfere with the midrange massively. If they sell this where it should be, it will hurt their midrange cards, if they sell it where they seem to be aiming it, you'd have to be a bit mad to buy it over a 470gtx/5850/5830 or whatever Nvidia brings to the midrange eventually.

Yeah looking at the 5830 prices and spec of this card it seem it will need to fall in around the 5770 and a 5830.

Maybe Nvidia will surprise us and offer some competition on price this time.
