A Closer Look at the EVGA GTX 465 1GB Superclocked
You will be forgiven if you looked at the picture above and had said “wait a second, that’s a GTX 470!” Well, the cat’s out of the bag: this is a GTX 470 from top to bottom with all of the mentionable differences lying under the heatsink. What we get here is a card decked out in the EVGA black and green colour scheme sporting a typical blower-style heatsink that exhausts hot air outside of your case. Length also remains the same as a reference GTX 470 at a compact 9”
EVGA has basically used every available area on this card for the application of tasteful and subdued branding stickers which actually look quite good. In the top left photo above you can also see that the GTX 465 1GB requires a pair of 6-pin power connectors and it sports the standard SLI bridge required for dual, tri and quad operation.
The GTX 465’s underside is once again identical to that of the GTX 470 complete with the unique cut-out in order to provide the fan with additional fresh air.
With the standard definition output from the last generation of cards finally going the way of the Dodo, the backplate of EVGA’s card comes with a pair of DVI connectors as well as a single mini HDMI output. As we mentioned in the Packaging and Accessories section, EVGA has included a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable in order to adapt this small additional output for use on standard HDMI-equipped A/V components.
