Nvidia intros GeForce GTX 460 SE with less CUDA cores

How about a 460 with the 256-bit and 1GB?

What's the SE stand for? Suck edition.

Boy, there really isn't that much of a price difference between the 1GB and 768GB price-wise to begin with. I've seen as little as $18 difference. What would be the point of getting one of these new cards when all you need to do is to just pull out another $20 bill?

This does assume, that there's another one in the wallet.

looks like poor respond for the 68xx & 69xx

i guess its just another marketing buzz

Not really. Depending on what resolution you play at the 1GB SE model may be superior to the 768mb vanilla model.

wow a card that really is a waste of time imo wth nvidia

So I guess you just post a comment without reading the others. If you would have read mine you would know,

For higher resolutions the 1GB model will be superior. It has a 256bit bus as well.

This explanation does seem to be a bit silly on Nvidia's part. I really don't think the average gamer is going to begin selecting which game to buy, based on memory bandwidth vs shader and tessellation considerations

This would make more sense if the price differential between the 1GB and a 768MB models were greater. Right now, it seems a bit silly, and only adds to the confusion of selecting hardware.

they are doing the apple thing, less is more. son they will be no videocard, just a box and a molex connector inside.

I agree, this is kind of unnecessary, but it does bring in more attention to nVidia and therefore might bring in more sales.
Whatever works for them as long as they don't do this to any other GPU models.
Imagine: "NEW!!! GTX 470 SE, now with 1024 MB of memory!"

Gtx 460 ......pid Edition, that is what it means.

For your info i did read it and for another you dont know that for sure do you own all 3 cards and can tell me for a fact thats for sure like i said in my post a stupid release because guess what wait for it nvidia hates that AMD has better midrange cards than them.

/me facepalms. Funny, if ATi has much better midrange cards why is the GTX 460 selling so god damn well?

P.S. The fact that it'll perform better on higher resolutions is common knowledge. HIGHER RES=MORE MEMORY USAGE.

hurr durr?

um just because it has more ram doesnt mean it will sustain higher fps so if i bought a 9500gt with 512mb ram vs one with 1gb thats the same thing except that the damn card is to slow to make much difference weather it has 1GB or 512 all i was saying is its a dumb card why have 3 different gtx 460s? do u see 3 different 6870 cards nope yeah the gtx 460 is selling well but AMD does have better midrange cards and thats a cold hard fact my good sir.

What's the point? People should just get the GTX460 1gb and call it a day. If people really are that cheap to skimp out on another $20, then I guess they deserve to have the lower model 460. TBH, I don't get why nvidia even bother releasing 2 different versions. It just adds more confusion to the already huge list of GPUs available.
