Yesterday, NVIDIA officially announced the third addition to the Fermi family, the GeForce GTX 465 version. Featuring 352 cores and support for DirectX 11, PhysX and 3D Vision surround, these new GeForce GTX 465 is also the most affordable GF100 based graphics card with its $279 price tag. As noted, this GeForce GTX 465 works at 607MHz for the core and 1215MHz for the shaders. It has just 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 3206MHz and is paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. This graphics card still needs two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors and looks a lot like the GeForce GTX 470 using the same dual slot cooler. So an slightly cut down version with an affordable price ready for the battle. - FudZilla

Gainward GeForce GTX 465 GooD Style Card Preview

So we tested Gainward's card dubbed the GeForce GTX 465 GooD edition, which comes with non reference, twin fan cooling. These GooD edition runs at reference clocks. It is well worth noting that Gainward was one of the first partners to offer different video output configurations on GeForce GTX 400 series cards, and their GeForce GTX 465 GooD edition features two dual link DVI's, standard HDMI and DisplayPort. Don't forget however that NVIDIA's graphics cards support only two video outputs at a time, so if you want more monitors you just have to buy more cards. Of course that means you do need quite a budget set aside.

Although this is the slowest Fermi board up to date, this GeForce GTX 465 still fares nicely on higher resolutions and with DirectX 11 tessellation in games. The cooler is silent in idle mode and while it gets a bit louder during gaming, it's still much quieter than the reference GeForce GTX 470's cooling. Quite a decent card and coming in at an affordable price tag, so watch out for these.
