The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 Tech Report

After floundering against ATI's formidable Radeon HD 4000 series and getting upstaged by their rival's Radeon HD 5000 series, NVIDIA is back in the fight with their new GeForce GTX 400 series of graphics cards. Hot on the heels of the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 cards, NVIDIA launched the mid-range GeForce GTX 465 on March 31, 2010.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 is designed to offer most of what the GeForce GTX 470 can do but at a more affordable price level of US$ 279. Take a look at how the new model compares to its bigger brothers :

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 Graphics Card

As it befits a slight change in the model number, the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 looks exactly like the more expensive GeForce GTX 470. It uses the same card design and dual-slot cooler. Both cards require the use of two 6-pin power cables.

Like the other GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 465 comes with two dual-linked DVI-I ports and a mini HDMI port.
