Is this Video Card actually an upgrade?

Right now I have a Nvidia Geforce GTS 250, which runs the game great in my opinion, but I destroyed the second video out port so I need a new video card.

nVidia geForce GTX465 is the replacement I'm looking at, but I really have no idea how to decipher the names and codes they give video cards these days.

I'm hoping someone who speaks nvidianesse can tell me if I'm looking at a newer generation of video card.

465 was not one of the better cards being the 3 third tier GF100 (A failed chip not good enough to be a 480 or 470). Go with the 460 or 560.


H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster

Yes, the GTX 465 was a stop gap card to compete at a particular price poing based on a even more disabled 480 until the mid level GPU use in GTX 460 came out. Similar performance to the original 675MHz GTX 460 (460s that came out recently are all in the low to mid 700MHz range) but sucked power like a GTX 470.
