Nvidia GTX 465 Shipped to Customer by Accident?

[maban]

I counted 10 ram chip placements. A 465 would only have 8.

Anyone doubting this should check the forum his PCB shots do not match up to a 470, this seems legit

 

[razorblaze42]

Nothing to see here, someone placed this gimped chip in the wrong bin. Mystery solved

 

[razor512]

I bet there going to bust his door down and take his computer and his business cards.

 

[Dkz]

Hum, lots of "mistakes" like the Iphone 4G left by "accident" in a bar are happening lately.

Nvidia attacked the guys house in the form of Fermi based rockets.

 

[Ciuy]

bullwack, some storyes i keep reading on toms keep sounding less and less real....its like a big comercial banner allover.

 

[krazyk12]

how is it that you guys think this is a nvidia pr stunt, or nvidia at all.

he bought a GALAXY video card. nvidia doesnt sell galaxy cards. galaxy sells nvidia cards.

 

[megamanx00]

Hah, oops

[liquidsnake718]

just watch him sell it for more than 4x its retail release price

 

[LLJones]

Nope, I now it's the real deal. The brother of the guy who lost the iphone, works at the warehouse where the card was shipped from

 

[aaron686]

Depending on the kind of person he is he might
a) Feel happy for getting this opportunity and take advantage
b) be like "WTF, I ordered a 470 and this is clearly 10 less, Uncle!"

lucky, it could have been some layman who returns it thinking it DoA.

This comment deserves a 21.

 

[soundefx]

I wish that I could be that lucky.

 

[Glacier]

Nice, nothing like getting the wrong graphics card. Nvidia better give him a FREE GTX 470, and NO legal hassles. It ain't his fault if they send him the wrong card!

 

[alextheblue]

[citation][nom]zoemayne[/nom]hopefully this will bring the price of the 5850 down[/citation]Based on the leaked specs of the 465, I don't think AMD will need to reduce the price. I hope they do anyway though, just because I want one. 😛

 

[Keiki646]

[citation][nom]cyber_jockey[/nom]Sounds like Nvidia is just trying to grab the media's attention[/citation]
I'd agree with you 100%

 

[JonnyDough]

I would just like to say:

"Who really cares?"

 

[dalta centauri]

If this was Nvidia's way for the media, then why did they use Galaxy to get the fame? If you guys think it's just a way for Nvidia to get attention then you guys are idiots. It's Galaxy's responsibility, they screwed up by giving a 465 when he should have received a 470. A problem is that some find it may not be a 465 but a damaged 470.

 

[falchard]

Probably going to be more reliable then the 470.

[citation][nom]bochica[/nom]Nvidia attacked the guys house in the form of Fermi based rockets.[/citation]I see what you did there.

(Rockets = Thermonuclear warheads = Fermi joke...)

Damn you are a funny one aren't you! 😀 Lolz

[channelx99]
