GTX460 v2 and GTX460 SE v2?

[VirtualLarry]

On the Nvidia driver download page, they have selections in their drop-down menus for a "v2" variant of the GTX460 and 460SE. What are these? Does anyone know?

Maybe for the newer 460s and 460 suckyeditions?

I noticed the 460 SE v2 for awhile but the standard 460 v2 is new.

Isn't commonplace during the life cycle of a video card product to start using cheaper components towards the end of the cycle? Maybe that's why there is a version 2? Only a guess but maybe someone has a better answer.

I was curious as I have a GTX 460SE but I didn't find anything meaningful about the V2. Are you looking to buy a GTX460?

Not sure if this will be helpful. My searches revealed:

Asus 1GB GTX460 675MHz / 3.6GHz

Asus 1GB GTX460 V2 775MHz / 4GHz

I know that different brands may have non "V2" models above 675/3.6 but there is also a distinct price diff between the two cards.

Looks to be faster clocks, but only 192-bit memory.

Lets see how long it takes the rebrand police to notice that 405

192bit with 1gb of vram so its like the gtx550 with its odd memory configuration.

An oc'd GTX 460 768MB with another 256MB of memory tacked on? Kind of a cheap move.

When you select either type, it ends up downloading the same exact driver file anyway doesnt it?

how is adding another 256mb a cheap move?
