Sounds like Nvidia is just trying to grab the media's attention

 

[dameon51]

I hope the Nvidia goons don't bust down his door.

Yeah, he's lucky it isn't the new 5.5 inch ipad... he'd be getting water boarded as we speak.

What nConvenience for Moratorius. :lol:

 

[anamaniac]

If I were him, I'd sell it to the highest bidder (news site), and then buy three GTX 480's and a new PSU...
Anyone else?

 

[eddieroolz]

Just watch Gizmodo buy this for $5000 + $2500 in hidden payments.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

He could sell it to the right person for plenty of money.

 

[z0d]

Auction it at e-bay

Lucky, yet unlucky at the same time. The irony!

 

[DjEaZy]

This is basically Nvidia stealing apples idea. Same thing as what Apple did with the 4g iPhone...

 

[JohnnyLucky]

hmmmm..... publicity stunt? Lots of detail are missing from the article.

 

[Guest]

This us a WINFAIL

 

[zoemayne]

hopefully this will bring the price of the 5850 down

 

[ganjasmk]

So it's a 470 but doesn't have the cuts made eh?! That seems to be a possibility.

 

[nforce4max]

The bench scores are some what disappointing.

Looks like nVidia is getting a head start on this generation's re-branding strategy.

 

[Pei-chen]

Sounds like he just tweaked a 470 into 465.

How many people can edit driver files and use RivaTuner(?) to look up an unreleased card? I am not even sure if program like RivaTuner will work on unreleased parts since they usually have to be updated to be compatible.

 

[fisshy]

No... poor guy, either sell it to Gizmodo Or chuck it into the microwave😀

 

[CoryInJapan]

They better let him keep that one and send him a free 470 for the troubles.
Now he can dedicate the 465 to physix.
