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.

I was just thinking, with less of the core active this may clock better than existing GF104's, making it perhaps the ideal folding card, as Iv'e heard folding@home won't take advantage of over 256 CUDA cores.

It definitely takes advantage of more than 256 SPs. My GTX470@1630MHz nets me just under 16,000 PPD while the GTX460@1760MHz only nets about 11,000 PPD. There is no way the GTX470 would be pumping out more PPD if it was limitted to 256 SPs, the only explaination for the higher PPD is the extra SPs. I think that limitation might have been on the GPU2 client, but not the GPU3 client.

looks odd like they had a bunch of bungled gtx 460 1024's and saw this as a way of salvage. defiently looks like it'll put the gts450 in a tight spot though.
