Guess who ordered 2x Gainward GTX460 1GB cards. ;D
Mad pics and bragging benches incoming in a few days
(maybe even video if I have the bawls)
pimp.how much did they cost you? also what made you decide to go with two 460's? you seemed set on a gtx 480 up until now.
3600 NOK
=
582 USD
It was 10% off.
Yes i know Norway is fucking expensive, but then again people have more money here.
Well, Megotrice got me on the idea when he linked to GTX460 sli review on his facebook page, and two of those in SLi clearly beats GTX480.
They don't just beat it in performance they beat it in power efficiency, temperatures, price and size. (they are pretty damn small)
GF100 is more like a test-chip for fermi imo, GF104 is a more.. refined version.
Mmm just sold my GTX260 for 1000NOK, so im without a desktop pc for the weekend... : |
yeah its definitely the more practical choice. arent gtx 480's some ridiculous amount like 700 USD there?
Sweet!! Iv heard of Gainward but never see them sold anywhere, are they not sold in U.S?
Yep, well guessed. It's somewhere around 700 +
Wooly: It's European brand.
One of the FEW nvidia premiums, that sells nothing but nvidia :D
red PCB
Why gainward why?
Well we dont have your red pcb crappy European company here. EVGA FTW!
Wait and see.
It will fit perfect to my evga x58 sli micro motherboard.
HEADING TO Post office now to pick them up! WOO
how wells the gtx 465s in sli ?
Not 465's, but 460's.
Hmmmmm havnt got to test it for real yet, setting up monitors as we speak..
Stock clock vantage test:
800/1600/2000 vantage test:
I'z impressed
OH and for atifeggets (take no offense of this tiny trolling)
with PPU disabled:
In other words, It's with physx disabled in Vantage, so the overall score and CPU score doesn't get as high, then it's fairly comparable to ati vantage scores
jelous
:3
I made an unboxing video, but when rendering something went wrong, and premiere crashed.. and I forgot to save it.
Sooo I made this instead..,Ă‚ XD
i meant compared like is it worth the exrta $ for the 465s in sli
You can OC a 460 to reach 465 performance. I would personally save the money and go with a 460 only because it takes less power and are smaller.
hawt
at least until they were in the pc =\
460's beat the 465 almost out of the box anyways, and they are easy overclockers...
Dirt 2 1680x1050 @ DX11 @ 8xAA and everything max = 120fps average. lol. :D
I'm going to copy you, probably.
How big is your Powersupply?
