From 4870 to GTX465 1GB

[Peter Tsang]

Hi folks,
As an mid-term upgrade, GTX465 is a good choice? I'm running some GPU-bound games like IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover.
Currently my system is as spec in my signature.
Thanks!

Wasn't the GTX465 a waste of space? Didn't it become defunct once the GTX460 came out?

The GTX 465 had a very short life span.

Some were actually GTX 470's in disguise though and could be flashed to a GTX 470.

I can't find the GTX465 actually.
I came up with this card because I watched this clip

It specifically mentioned it uses this card.

Anyway, I went down town found no GTX465 and the sales recommended me Inno3D GTX560 Ti oC. This card is actually Hong Kong made >o<

Anyway, it's about GBP157.

I am going to do some FPS test running Strike Fighters and DCS Black Shark before I move away the 4870 and put this new baby in

I hope this will improve my FPS in DCS Black Shark, I have never really played it since I purchased it because it's so laggy using 4870!

Yup, I think there was a dude on here (Greebo iirc) that bought two that flashed successfully. Bargain.
