Jacek,

A 465 will do well, try to grab as much memory as possible in de video board. AFAIK, FreeSurfer will return to compute capabilities 1.1 so you won't need a fermi architeture.

Richard, Nick, Pedro, & the Freesurfers,

I am looking at choice of the lower end fermi cards and I was
wondering if you could comment of Freesurfer's ability to take
advantage of some seldom used functions included in nVidia GTX 400
(including tesselation) that were stripped down from nVidia GF104
chipset.

GeForce GTX 465 has the "original" nVidia GTX 400 chip and GeForce GTX
460 has the "revised" GF104 chipset. Some claim that the revision in
the chipset is geared towards cheaper manufacturing. Unfortunately
benchmarks for those cards are usually aimed at gaming performance
that is not of my interest.
