Can they at least give it a sensible name?

Well, given that the 470 is only just about 10% faster than the 5850 overall if we are being generous, the 465 is going to fall short by about that much. I can't see 3D being much of a selling point in this range, so it once again comes down to PhysX/CUDA vs performance/power consumption.
How about Bernard? I always felt that Bernards were an inherently sensible set of people...
What graphics card are you using?
An NVidia Bernard
Ah, very sensible...
Lol. For some reason I think of nursie from Blackadder II when I hear the name Bernard.
Because that's her name?I'd forgotten about that actually - I may have to revise my opinion.
NVidia Nursey would be a bad name for a graphics card though.
And to be slightly on topc, I'm worried that they're having to cut back as far as 352 shaders. I reckon even a 384 shader card would struggle to be competitive against a 5850 (which is roughly where it'll be priced, I'd guess), so a 352 shader card surely won't have a chance...? NVidia need to retape their designs and get some new silicon out there desparately...
I've got coffee coming out of my nose when I read this...
LOL... classic!

Annnnyyyyway. On topic, I just can't see the green team having any appeal for me this generation. The power figures are just too silly, and can't believe the 465 will change that. Maybe a process shrink might make the difference less stark, but presumably Ati will be able to take advantage of any shrink at roughly the same time.
£225 is still too much for the average Joe. We need a card from Nvidia with this new chip to be around the £150 price point.
The second Nvidia creep onto the 5850 performance/ price then the 5850 will drop in price to £150. Nvidia would be wise to get there first.
I'm more interested in the GF104 chip, the GTX 460. This 465 chip will use the same hot, power hungry core that the top end GPUs use, so it'll have horrid characterisitics most likely.
The problems with the current generation are down to a badly managed process shrink in the first place (NVidia didn't do their homework properly when they moved to TSMCs 40nm process and got bad silicon back as a result...), so I can't see another process shrink helping! What they actually need to do is retape the design to compensate for some of the manufacturing artefacts inherent in TSMCs 40nm process (which is what ATI did to produce a successful 5000 series) - but there's a problem with that, because they're already at the die-size limit of the process and may not be able to make the modifications required.
im personally waiting for the 5850 to hit the £150 mark before i next upgrade. staying away from nvidia this time again. in fact last nvidia i got was 6800gt. ati has been on top since then in my opinion and still is. nvidia would have to make something special for me to move back
^ Seems that you missed the whole 8800GTX vs HD2900 (and from a performance perspective, even the 3870) generation. Heck, I'd say they were pretty much tied depending on the games around the time of the 7900 vs X1900. There were a good couple of years between the 6800GT and now where nVidia were leading quite convincingly.
Sounds like more chip binning, I cannot help but think that not just the fewer stream but the fewer ROPs and memory bandwidth will hit the 465 hard in perfromance if htoes numbers are right.
Esp at higher graphics settings and this card just will not be able to cope with surround 3d (if it ever comes out) ROP and memory are issues for the 5770 to run eyefinity at higher settings.

Sorry photobucket links broken
When news stories like these appear, I often wonder if Hexus have one of these cards for review under NDA.
Where does it leave Hexus if they are busy reviewing a card when leaked numbers appear online. Do they say
When they have in fact just finished benchmarking their review sample, and it did in fact only manage 50 fps in Doom 5.According to the leaked story on <some dodgy Mexican website> the new card will pull 100 fps, on Doom 5
Are Hexus even allowed to report the leaked pictures and performance numbers if they have signed an NDA and have one for review?
