Point of View GTX 465 - 470?

[Si105]

Hey guys the GTX 460 is out of stock but my friend told me if I get the Point of View GTX 465 it can be easily unlocked to a GTX 470. Is there truth behind this and will it work?

Thanks.

First few retail cards could be unlocked but it's not guaranteed now, you could always try it and if it fails re-flash back to original bios and sent back under DSR.

Ah I wont risk it then cheers.

The Zotaz at £235 on here is a bargain and no flashing required.

i concur the zotac is a great price.

I don't really wanna spend anymore over the GTX 460. I only game at 1440x900 anyways.

Well buy a 5770 then otherwise a 460 is a waste.

I disagree coming from a 4850 the 5770 isn't enough of a step-up imo. And just look at the Mafia 2 requirements for starters.

Well buy a 5850 then instead of complaining. 5770 is enough at that res.

Never once complained. I never even complained at OcUK despite it being in stock when I ordered. I simply asked a question about the GTX 465. Anyway thanks for your suggestion.

Well, this much is certain...not matter what you do, DO NOT get a GTX465...as it is slower than a GTX460 (comsume more power. hotter and not as overclockable).

OCuK have the GTX 460 back in stock and its been shipped
