While my budget won't stretch to a 480, is it better to have a 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX460 GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11 or a 1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX465 GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11 for the purposes of gaming?
The GTX 460 out paces the GTX 465 in some reviews only due to the fact the 460 is more often than not factory overclocked. The 465 is the technically superior card, more shaders more CUDA cores etc.
