Hot off the heels of launch of the GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470, NVIDIA is launching the next card in the Fermi family. Based on the same GF100 GPU that powers the GTX 480 and GTX 470, the GTX 465 is a further reduced product designed to put a Fermi card in the all-important under-$300 price range. With a MSRP of $280, NVIDIA has put the card right under the Radeon HD 5850 with the performance to match. But is cheaper necessarily better? Not always, and today we'll see why.

As NVIDIA is not providing reference samples of the GeForce GTX 465, today we will be looking at a retail card: Zotac's GeForce GTX 465. With a hard launch ruling the day, the Zotac GTX 465 and the rest of the GTX 465 lineup are available today.
