2 edits | [ Parts Check] GTX260 216Core vs GTX465 If I were to upgrade from my GTX260 216core GDDR3 896MB to a GTX465 GDDR5 1GB how big of a differance would it be?
basicly this
GeForce® 260 GTX 896MB DDR3 Core Edition (GX-260X-ADJA)

| Re: [ Parts Check] GTX260 vs GTX465 I think you should revise your question to GTX260 216core to a GTX460. The 465 is slower when compared to the 1GB version of the 460 and it generates more heat. |

1 edit | ok I added more detail
the reason I'm asking is I currently have a GTX260 216Core because I decided not to get the GTX285 due to a new card being just over the horizen and not I think the 465 has stabilized where as the early 400's were getting bad press for over heating
so 2 possible outcomes
1. buy the GTX465 very soon
2. wait for the GTX600's
if the 465 is only a small upgrade I might not bother if tis a fairly good one then I might jump on it |

As chrno said there is the newer 460 which is as good, or better, for a lower price.
Having said that I don't think either card is enough of an advance over the 260gtx to justify the cost.
What specific game and resolution are you having problems with? |

1 edit | not really having any trouble just figured I'd check if the mid range of the 400's was worth it yet
when I built the computer I did so with the intent to upgrade the video card if a worthwhile upgrade could be had in the 400's
but it's looking like I'll just wait for the 600's |

| thanks that helped
I was having trouble finding a review with both the 260 and the 465 to compare
looks like the 465 is on par or a little over the 285 which was the most powerfull single gpu back before the 400's |
