Nvidia releasing a GTX650TI with a 192 bit memory controller??

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Nvidia is releasing a modified version of the GTX650TI as a response to the HD7790:

The sub £130 market is finally starting to heat up!!

Heat up or flood? I really don't see the point in all these interim cards that AMD are bringing out.

Has the 7790 even been released yet?

April?

There's quite a difference in performance between the 7770 - 650ti - 7850 (with the 650ti being relatively unchallenged), so I can see why they are releasing another card.

Yep. The HD7790 and the updated GTX650TI should hopefully make the £90 to £120 market more competitive too.

i'm really curious to know how many people have been waiting for something in this bracket

Probably very few of the people who read or contribute to a forum such as this one, but we're in the minority. I'd expect that the vast majority of PC "gamers" will be looking at this sort of price bracket for their GPU.

/edit According to Steam's latest hardware survey, 35% of GPUs are "other", so we can assume they're not high-end, and over 40% of GPUs are entry level (by which I mean: lower spec than GTX460 or HD5850). Admittedly these are somewhat crude numbers, but you could draw the conclusion from this that 3/4 of the GPU market could be very interested in the £90-£120 bracket.

I'd expect the graphics performance that AMD's latest APUs is more than enough for "casual" gamers anyway. How does the Steam survey see APUs?

They aren't listed separately, so I'd expect they're mopped up under "others"
