If they were in the $85-$90 range they would be ok, but not at what they are asking.

I'd be willing to even pay $110-120, but that price just wanna makes me laugh, it's only slightly faster than the GTS450(which goes for $100).

Lowest I've seen a GTX 460 768MB was $110 AR. I guess after the GTX 560 is released these cards will drop even lower.

I just read that someone bought an SE thinking it's the regular 1gb. big mistake and probably paid close to a 1gb too. NV is pretty sneaky on that one. Taking advantage of noobs who is looking for a cheap 1gb.

I'm sure there's a completely viable explanation that none of us are aware of, the price will fall.

169$ for a 460 SE is way overpriced compaired to other offers out there....
people that buy these are getting a bad deal, and might not know any better
(they probably see 460 and buy it suspecting it to be a 460 1gb oc version in performance, when its not).

IMO
Actually that's not a likely scenario. Usually the people that buy ATI/AMD do their homework especially due to the bad marketing around them(lack of features like Physx or 3D, bad drivers,etc). So when they actually see the cards are good they go ahead and buy them, but the research they did stops them from "upgrades" like the one you suggested.

It is definitely more likely for consumers to buy Nvidia blindfolded, because of the "reputation", but they'll wake up sooner or later.

well, it has to live up to its name, the SE stands for sucker edition.

also, @ op, your link is broken.

As long as it's listed in the description, I'm ok with it.
It would be the buyers fault for finding out what se was.

SE was commonly associated with sport packages in the 80s and early 90's, then the denotation sorta went away. It has come back over the last few years in cars and other products as the "best looking base model". I don't think NVIDIA is really deviating from that, as it has more SPs than a 450, and higher bandwidth memory interface than the GTX 460 768.

What should determine this card's worth(lessness?) is a good but short set of gaming and synthetic benchmarks of:

460 SE @ stock and overclocked
vs
4501ghz core speed (a couple models have this BIG OC stock
vs
460 768 @ stock and overclocked
vs
460 1gb and/or 465 @ stock
vs
HD 5770 and/or 5830 @ stock

... pair the performance up with the price and see where it sits. The bandwidth and/or the overclocking could very well make this an awesome entry-level SLI setup, and a great 1680x1050 + 2xAA and gratuitous tessellation setup in single card setups.

The 6800 is not relevant to this topic, at all. Red herring tactic at its finest. And I don't think nyker was countering the red herring.

that is correct, it is customer fail, nvidia win. They manage to sell a vastly cut down and underperforming chip at a high price.
