Anybody have some number on 465 gtx 3-way SLI ???
- Thread starter Modboxx
- Start date
The GTX 465 consumes just as much or more power as a 470, performs a lot worse and is only $80 cheaper. Given those facts and the fact that Tri-SLI doesn't scale well. It would make a LOT more sense to go with 470 SLI than 465 Tri-SLI.
470 SLI = $700 ($350 retailx2), better scaling
465 Tri-SLI = $840 (280 retailx3), worse scaling, and worse heat, power consumption, and noise than the 470 SLI.
In other words 465 Tri-SLI doesn't make any sense from a monetary or performance point of view.
"Unfortunately, for the time being the GTX 465 retails for a bit more than we would be willing to pay for the performance it delivers and the power it consumes. It’s the right card at the wrong price in a market where consumers are demanding more gaming value for their money."

Maybe so they can have a bumper sticker on their car that says:
I bought THREE GTX 465's
I wouldn't want to fuck with that guy. He crazy!

that is a pretty stupid way to spend $850.

That's a pretty big ePeen too!
Anyway, I would like to see some numbers as well, heat, power draw and all that.
Sorry, that's not epeen, that's eStupido. I can respect someone who is hardcore and wants to go GTX480 3-way sli (even with the scaling issues). But GTX 465 3-way Sli? That person should NOT be allowed to reproduce. EVER.
eVag?
