NVIDIA today introduced new Fermi architecture based GeForce GTX 465 graphics card.  NVIDIA says that the new GPU was designed to deliver potent gaming performance and features 11 dedicated tessellation engines, resulting in outstanding performance. Tessellation allows game developers to take advantage of the GeForce GTX 400 series GPUs' ability to increase the geometric complexity of models and characters to deliver far more realistic and visually compelling gaming environments. Combined with support for NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, the industry's only complete 3D stereoscopic solution for the new category of 3D PCs, the GTX 465 offers gamers an attractive price point to play the latest cutting-edge titles at full HD, 1080p resolutions.

The GeForce GTX 465 features 352 CUDA cores, 1GB GDDR5 memory, 607MHz graphics clock speed, 1215MHz processor clock speed and 1603MHz memory clock speed. The 256-bit memory interface offers 102.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth. The card supports NVIDIA SLI, PhysX, CUDA and OpenCL. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 is available today with an estimated retail price of $279.

Websites like Hot Hardware, Tom’s Hardware and PC Perspective have posted reviews of the new card. Marco Chiappetta of Hot Hardware wrote in his review “Although NVIDIA hasn't been able to deal a knockout blow to any of ATI’s DX11-class cards at any given price point, the GeForce GTX 465 is interesting nonetheless. For under $300, the GeForce GTX 465 performs well and offers support for DX11 and all of NVIDIA's proprietary technologies like PhysX, 3D Vision, and CUDA. The GTX 465 also proved to be relatively quiet throughout testing, although it did consume a considerable amount of power relative to its ATI-driven counterparts. In the end though, the GeForce GTX 465's price relative to its performance fall right where it should in the current market and it offers competitive performance and features.”
