Oh, I'm happy to build in that case. Just the fact that it took a month and several case attempts to get one sorted out, along with the fact that they didnt contact me to tell me that the cases they had already sold me as "in stock" went out of stock or were never in stock, was a real piss off.

Just received two EVGA GeForce GTX 465 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Cards today from NewEgg.  My 9800 GT quit outputting for one of my monitors, and I was needing a card that works with a 3-SLI config.  I have read some nice benchmarks on this 465, and there were some good reviews on NewEgg.  If anyone has any info on this card like what to watch out for, please speak up.  This card is 1.5" longer than my 9800, so the fit will be tight.  I got another 120 mm case fan just in case.

Or with the way the costs are a 460 or a 470... But if he had the cash for two 465s, a higher end card would have taken care of the job without any issues, I would think. Whatever.

Gee, thanks.  That's what I get for leaving such an open-ended question for you yahoos. lol

I am not the kind of guy to get the best new thing as soon as it comes out.  I can live with tech that has been out for a year or so, partly because I can see its track record but mainly because of price.  I didn't want to break the bank with this purchase, but I did want something better than my old 9800.  And newegg was offering $25 off plus the manufacturer's mail-in rebate of $40 per card.  I figured that was good enough for me.

that should be the only factor in any decision regarding today's technology. if you do your homework, save your money, account for what the parts will do - noone else's opinion matters.

You were almost right. Down to the last character.

GTX 4650.

E: but if you're happy with it don't care what internet forum people say.

So, since I know jack shit about video cards, is the Radeon 6870 an acceptable card for gaming/everyday usage? Keep in mind it wopuldn't be for anything so demanding as Crysis. More like Civ V.

I've also heard that the 6850 has about the same performance?

I agree with you entirely, except you won't find ANY review where the 465 is a recommended card to buy. Too loud and expensive for what little boost in performance you get over a 460. Either get the 460 (they're all overclocked or upclocked from the factory nowadays) or a 470. SLi is a bit of a waste, too.

yeah, but the 5000 series AA problems... not to bag on your sale, or have they fixed those yet? Although the 5850 is more powerful than a 6850.
