nVidia GeForce GTX 465 Preview: Worthy Successor or a Weak Link?

We wouldn’t claim to know everything about the new graphics card from nVidia after testing it in only six tests, especially as driver updates can often improve the performance of modern unified-architecture graphics cards dramatically. However, it is already clear that the nVidia GeForce GTX 465 won’t be a success in its current form. At a recommended price of $279, it is but slightly cheaper than the Radeon HD 5850 but has a lower performance, comparable to that of the GeForce GTX 275. We can’t find any excuse for nVidia’s having developed yet another complex and expensive monster chip instead of an inexpensive mainstream graphics core
