ok so i have been having trouble with my ATI drivers and have got fed up with it so i am going to change GPU hopefully by the end of next week
my options are
GTX 465
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-029-PV&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1812

and if i get paid enough and sell my 5770
GTX470
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-088-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1810

now i am having some problems in choosing the card
now i play crysis a lot so the more the better really :D
also i do want to upgrade to sli in the future so is my PSU powerfull enough for the 470
also is the 465 worth getting and unlocking to a 470 if it has 10 memory chips?
so what are your thoughts?
 
The GTX 1024mb GTX 460 is better then the GTX 465 and can overclock to almost the same level of the GTX 470.

On the other hand, if you really enjoy Crysis that much then I would recommend getting the GTX 470 as when overclocked it has a lot more power then gtx 460.

I understand you don't want to upgrade your PSU but bare in mind that SLI GTX 460 is very godo and better then a single GTX 480 in some cases and I believe a Corsair AX 750W would be more then adequate to handle it.
 
u can only unlock the 465 if it has the same amount of memory chips as a 470 otherwise its a waste of money, get a 470 or a 460
 
The GTX465 was a flop when they released it. It gets equalled or beaten by the GTX460 every time due to a small redesign before the 460 was released, with the GTX460 coming in at £166 on this week only. The GTX470 is also a contender, and recent price drops have got it down the £225!

*edit* Noticed that it was your OC causing the problems. Same here =( My 5870 is at stock atm, doesn't like any clocking at all.
