The GTX460 is faster than the GTX465.

Also it was only the review samples of the GTX465 that could unlock to the GTX470.
 
i hear ya but there is gtx465 at my local shop that still can unlock to a gtx470, from what ive seen browsing trough a ton of website my chances are 50\50 it will unlock from what i seen if it has 10 memory chips and gpu code GF100-275-A3, my odds are good it will unlock if it has the new core and does not have 10 memory chips i will just bring it back to the store and go for the gtx460 instead
 
id say you have more like a 20/80 chance for unlock
its mainly the first 465's that could do that, and ones reviewers got

not worth it

get the 460 Hawk edition, its a freakin beast
 
hawk edtion?? to save on shipping cost i akway buy from my local store only canada computers look them up give me your opinion on best card i should pick for a gtx460
 
errrr link to the site?


i live in denmark hehe
 
the motherboard and memory is a good pick the most bang for the buck ive seen
 
sweet card but it cost more, also along with shipping charges
 
I'm Vietnamese but still ... thumbs up for NCIX, those guys are rock :rockout:
Btw go with a GTX 460 then OC it, then it'll give you an awesome performance
I'd go between Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI or MSI GTX 460 Hawk
