New GeForce 400 Series Member Named GeForce GTX 465, Clock Speeds Surface
Up until now, the third DirectX 11 compliant graphics SKU by NVIDIA, which was referred to as "GeForce GTX 460" has some confirmation in its naming, NVIDIA refers to it as "GeForce GTX 465". Some of its lesser known specifications that have come to light are: Clock speeds of 607 MHz (core), 1215 MHz (shader), and 801 MHz or 3206 MHz effective (memory). With a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, the card will feature 1 GB of memory. NVIDIA is said to have managed a TDP of 215W. The price-range targeted by this SKU is US $259 to $299. If market positioning of this SKU is anything to go by, the GTX 465 should be competitive with ATI Radeon HD 5850 and HD 5830.

There's no GTX460 yet, and now they won't be able to name the GTX465 after a possible die shrink+overclock.
That's 5 units of 32 shaders disabled, out of a total of 16 in Fermi.
but I don't think
will probably be around 5770 performance but its obvious that it will use much more power, Nvidia really needs the revised version by the end of the year, . . . . hell this quarter
Ah.. I hope W1z gets a test sample soon...
There will be NO die shrinks this year, everything is 40nm. NVIDIA might as well make GTX 500 next as there won't be coming anything soon. That just silly, GTX 260 is already there, you are seriously saying they'd make that card again.. Hmm, I was expexting 384. 352 with the name doesn't make much sense.
Anyways, hurry up and put it on market so ATI might finally drop 5850 price :P Same, but that 215W sounds strange too. GTX 480 was 320W max (supposedly 250W TDP) and GTX 470 is 232W max (supposed TDP of 215W). That's 66% reduction. There's as much stuff disabled on GTX 465 as there was in 470vs480. So same 66% should apply and we'd end up with 154W max. But clocks stay the same and shader clocks heat things up. 480vs470 had 16% reduction on those speeds.
Has to be less that 215, as it's less of a card that 470 that already has that. But we'll know when they give one to W1zz :)
Interestingly, we heard the current batch of GTX 465 cores are essentially GTX 470 with just some CUDA cores turned off so there could be some possibilities of unlocking it if that remains the case.
That would be great, gimme another 6800LE :rockout: I mean they'll use all the cores that have less shaders than GTX 470, but enough for GTX 465 specs, so some cards will have more working ones. If you could get even one cluster more, this would sell much better :p
Come to think of it, then the GTX 465 name would make sense, but I highly doubt they leave them unlockable :ohwell:

Seems Nvidia arent doing alot right at the moment. I lost faith in the group when they paraded their Anti-intel GPU cartoons all over the web... anyways...
I would really like to know though if nvidia is going to disable the 4th raster engine on the card since it looks like 1 GPC will be disabled
The VGA card market has got stupid and difficult since last 2 years.

What it has going is 40nm, dx11, lower price. But it'll overclock like a beast and then GTX 285 is left in the dust :) Die shurnk versions you have to wait long to next year.
Anyhow, first benchmarks will be interesting. My late GTX 280 clocked past GTX 285 speed so I'm too curious on how it'll do against it. If they disable 1 GPC that would also disable some working SMs -> 5th SM disabled starts to make sense for better yields. Otherwise you have to have always 3 perfect GPCs. If they'd only disable four SMs they could pick them all over the core. Same would work with 5 too, but I don't quite get the correlation with ROPs and Raster Engines.
Performance and price will be the obvious deciding points although it will have to do something special to out price/perform the HD5850 (especially in the UK*).
*Rough prices from OCUK as guide:
HD5850 - ~£225
GTX465 - ~£225-250?
HD5870 - ~£320
GTX470 - ~£325
GTX480 - ~£475 (virtually non-existant)
HD5970 - ~£500-550 (depending on model)
It is difficult to see where this card will fit. My assumption would be at or around HD5850 pricing.
Slightly off topic but at current UK pricing (and availability) the GTX480 is a very poor purchase when compared to the HD5970.

284€, who knows what final price is. That would be quite bad, more than 5850 and performance less.
AMD didn't even have to budge their prices with the GTX480/70 launch.. :(
I guess this GTX465 is going the same way.
