Nvidia GTX 465 pricing and availability leaked.

That would lend more credibility to the idea that the 470gtx is dead, a 465gtx with 3 shader clusters less, smaller bus and less memory just isn't going to be bought at £10 less than a 470gtx.
 
So a card which only matches a 5830 but costs £100 more and £60 more than a 5850 which whoops it and only £30 less than a 5870?

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...........

I can see these flying off the shelf, good job they have got thousands available.

I guess all those failed gtx480 cores have come in useful. :rolleyes:
 
Crazy thing is it looks like the 470/480 are not selling to well, stock everywhere and prices are being steadily reduced day by day at some etailers.

And that is with the exchange rate getting worse every day which should be putting prices up!

You never know, if they keep falling I might actually buy a gtx480 :eek:
 
I cannot believe it,it has got to be wrong even for nvidia it was maybe ok to charge a high price for the 280/85 as it was the fastest single gpu card at the time but this don't make sense when you got ati with cards out cheaper and faster no wonder ati has not drop their prices.

Don't believe it, they are selling by the millions, obviously, its not that no one wants them, they just have far better supply than AMD do. :p

Some people are deluded, its funny because TSMC can only produce a very limited amount, though I suspect Nvidia gets a little more than half the allocation, who thinks they'll waste it all on a low yield no profit part and not continue making millions of the low end parts that have made them hundreds of millions in the last 6 months.

At best Nvidia are producing about the same number of wafers for 480-460gtx's than AMD are, with significantly worse yields and only half the possible cores per wafer to start with, well, if they are sitting on shelves and prices are going down, they have to be selling very badly.

Whats odd is, I thought despite being hot and late people would still buy them, at least for a couple months seeing as the 480gtx is the better card.

Maybe a lot of Nvidia guys got stung last generation, paying for a 280gtx at twice the price for a 4870 and just not getting value for money out of it.

I really suspect the sudden surge in shipping numbers will include a very large number of these 465gtx's being sent out to AIB's to put together, because they would have had a lot of wafer's sitting around with loads of cores that didn't make the grade.

Its even possible some of that 400k, or a decent chunk of it is actually 460gtx's, so midrange cards shipping as they aren't far from launch now(about a mont).

It really would be interesting to get close to accurate(I was going to say semiaccurate but didn't want to open a can of worms :p ) shipping numbers for all the cards from both companies.
