From STEAMs August 2010 survey (DX-11 video Cards), HD5700 series took a 3.4% dive and HD5800 series took a 3.28% dive since July. GTX 460 is hovering at 3.43% taking a plus 2.86% from only one month (August) and GTX 470 and 480 they shaw an increase too. It seams Gamers don’t buy HD5800 and HD5700 any more and they prefer GTX400 series.
Doesn't make much sense that people are moving from the HD 5770 and going to a GTX 460 1GB which doesn't buy you a lot of performance for the investment, it isn't guarantee that all of them are buying nVidia cards, there's people that are selling them to buy faster AMD cards, also who's gonna do a sidegrade from an HD 5870 to a GTX 470, is clearly from the article that I posted that the GTX 470, 465 and 480 aren't selling well.
GF106 could be a 240-288 Cuda Core part, 5 or 6 SMs of 48 Cuda Cores and 192-bit Memory Controller.
GTS450 is half the GTX460 1GB but GF106 die size is 240mm witch is much larger than half of 360mm GF104. As with GTX460 and GF104, I believe GTS450 will be followed by a GTS455 with a full GF106 core.
The GTS 450 is a 192 CUDA core with a 128-Bits BUS, considering that nVidia CUDA cores are tied to the BUS width, I doubt that they have more CUDA cores hidden, I think that due to the small step between the GTS 450 and GTS 455, the latter will be just a higher clocked version of the GTS 450 with GDDR5.
