^congratulations on your purchase! enjoy the card and OC the hell out of the little moth**fu****
NEWSFLASH!!
NVIDIA GTX460SE RELEASED.
same 256bit interface but with reduced CUDA cores and ROPs.
MSI has released the cyclone variant of this.
I think d pricin of d card will determine its future.Coz Zotac GTX460 768MB is for arnd 10.5k so if its SE variant is priced somwhere between 8-9k it should sell like hotcakes.But it'll also depend on d fact whether SE beats 5770 in gamin or not!!
^^33% slower than 460!Which 460?D 768MB or d 1GB variant?
Anyways 33% slower thn means it wud b somewhere arnd 5770!n 5770 is between 8-9k so if it is priced between 7.5-8.5k then it wud b best for both nVidia n end users i.e US!!

The price will decide the fate of GTX460SE in India.
This could be a great card if the launch price will at near 8K.....
The way I figure - it will be faster than GTX460 768MB edition in all type of resolution ( though it's just a prediction of mine ).
One thing I expected from this card was more power efficiency but there seems to be none though benchmarks will reveal all later.
I am planning to buy a desktop this december(will be posting my query when the time is right). And since it will be a gaming based rig, i was considering gtx 580 or the yet to be released 69xx. I wanted to know if the GTX 580 is actually cool enough relative to indian temperatures.
The testing and benchmarking done by various websites use ambient room temp of 20*C. While this is ok for their countries, its a different scene here. gtx 580 GPU's thermal threshold has been quoted at 97*C. Even though it is significantly lower than their microwave edition gtx 480, i am still in doubt if its suitable to indian conditions.
Now since i have never owned a dedicated desktop based gfx solution, i wanted to ask others experienced in this regard to advise me as to what is the normal temperature i should be expecting which is stable and wont kill the card in 1-2 years flat. Is gtx 580 a viable option considering the longevity of the card in indian temperatures like 30*c(A/C and non A/C conditions)?
The reason why this is plaguing me is because amd's 5870 temp readings are much lower than that of gtx 470, 480,580. Now i understand that they are different cards in terms of performance and architecture, but i dont wish to compromise on the life of the card due to over heating just for pure performance. So is waiting for the 69xx series better to see good temperature readings compared to gtx 580 or is gtx 580's temp readings good enough to go for it? I dont suppose anyone will have it in their pc's right now, but from experience, any advice on the practicality of gtx 580 would be great!
