NVIDIA Designs New GTX 460 SE Variant with 288 CUDA Cores, 256-bit Memory
NVIDIA is designing a new variant of its GeForce GTX 460 graphics processor, the GeForce GTX 460 SE. Based on the 40 nm GF104 silicon, it's positioned below the GTX 460 768 MB. It has 288 CUDA cores (6/8 streaming multiprocessors enabled, compared to 7/8 on the other GTX 460 variants), but uses the complete 256-bit wide memory interface, with GDDR5 memory. The GPU and memory are clocked at 650/1300 MHz DDR, compared to 670/1350 MHz DDR on the other GTX 460 variants. No information regarding pricing/availability is available.

Short answer: Faster product than 5770, cheaper than 6850...A viable 460 768MB replacement that may be priced less so nVIDIA can rid themselves of this special combo of all working ROPs and two faulty shader cores.
A much easier way to explain projected relative stock performance almost to the letter:
GTX 260 216 ~ 460 SE
GTX 275/280 ~ 460 768MB
GTX 285 ~ 460 1GB
Are yields worse than we though?

GTX 460 768 is 91% (all res summary) of 6850, so this at 90% (your workings) of a 768mb 460 would be ~80% performance of a 6850.
I think it's suicide for the 450's. The 6850 and the 768mb 460 trade blows well enough.
it was Radeon 9600 SE AGP With disabled half of display pipelines and half of Default memory bus. :cry: No more "SE" for me.:laugh:
I guess nVidia needs some way to get rid of the super defective GF104 cores.:D I'd prefer they release a GTX460 384SP version myself though.
commmme onnnnnn 384 sp's.... dual gpu... something!
Though a better fill for this price point would have been a 192-bit GF106, IMO.
Really don't see a point to this other than clearing inventory. Just hope it doesn't cut into the regular 460 price cuts. Was hoping to see them closer to $150 so I could snag a 2nd for SLI.
