Fermi is NVIDIA’s answer to ATI’s top dogs, but what about gamers on a tight budget? Should we be cast aside like yesterday’s trash? NVIDIA’s crippled Fermi GeForce GTX 465 was a waste of $300. The GTX 460 is priced accordingly and unlike the 465 (which is a stripped down GF100), it is based off a brand new core, the efficient and muscular GF104. More »

This is not the lower-end GTX 450, 440, and 430 that was suggested a few months ago; instead, the GeForce GTX 465 is going to be a rather expensive upper-mid-range graphics card just below the GTX 470 and comparable to a Radeon 5850. eNet has the GTX 465 and has conducted benchmarks. More »

Originally scheduled for a November 2009 launch, nVidia has pushed back the release of its “Fermi” Graphics Processing Unit until March. Hard at work, the company has supposedly been ironing out kinks before it is ready to unleash Fermi. Already trailing ATi in the ultra high performance sector, nVidia desperately needs this GPU to be everything that it is promising.
