NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 465: Cheaper Isn’t Always Better

Crysis: Warhead

Kicking things off as always is Crysis: Warhead, the toughest game in our benchmark suite. The GeForce GTX 465 trails the Radeon HD 5850 by about 4fps at every resolution. This translates to within 91% and 82% of the 5850’s performance, with that gap increasing with resolution. Ultimately NVIDIA just misses the sweet-spot at lower resolutions. Meanwhile the minimum framerates are almost tied with the 5850, which is roughly what we expect based on the fact that the GTX 465 doesn’t have a memory capacity advantage like the GTX 480 and 470.

Meanwhile compared to the GTX 470, the GTX 465 is between 20% and 27% slower on average FPS, and 18%-32% slower for minimum framerates.

benchies ok? by poohbear on Monday, May 31, 2010
Why's the 5770 10fps slower than the 4870? is that a mistake? they perform on par especially w/ the recent driver updates for the 5770.

There aren't any typos; those are the results we got for those cards on the 10.3a drivers.

I can vouch for that. When my 1gb 4870 died, it was replaced with a 5770. In ME2, I saw a 10-15fps drop across the board with the same settings.. that didn't do it for me, so I ended up stepping up to a 5850.

Didn't you know that the 5770 is generally slower than 4870? The 4870 has far, far greater memory bandwidth despite a 100MHz lower core clock.

lots of typos om page 1 by tno on Monday, May 31, 2010
I think a repost to the feed is appropriate when someone goes through this again and polishes it up. I couldn't finish the second paragraph it was so full or mistakes. Really guys there is no shame in hiring a copy editor.

i don't care about typos in this kind of article.
aside from problems with the numbers, i think everyone knows what is meant.

i feel like it's expected that tech blog sites are littered with typos.

actually, i'd like to hear about this from ryan smith or somebody here.

do you guys want us to post typo corrections in the comments?

i don't care, but what does anandtech want?

mismatch between graph and text by taltamir on Monday, May 31, 2010
Moving on to load temperatures, we can begin to see the price of using a GPU with a higher core voltage. Under Crysis that 2C advantage over the GTX 470 holds, with temperatures peaking at just 91C. This still makes it the 3rd hottest single-GPU card we have tested, tying with the Radeon HD 3870 and coming in 24C hotter than the 5850, a card it underperforms in this game.


According to the graph, the GTX465 gets 89 C not 91 C.

nevermind, I see now that there are two graphs, one for furmark and one for crysis.

typo by multivac on Monday, May 31, 2010
NVIDIA filled in the first 2 spots in their lineup with the GTX 480 and GTX 480, with obvious room to grow out the family in the future.
end of the first paragraph.
