Geforce GTS 450 appears on shelves

[saaya]

im impressed it manages to get close to a 460 768mb... that makes it look like the 460 768mb is bandwidth starved... very bandwidth starved...

but even when overclocked it doesnt beat the 5770, but only reaches about the same level of performance... its a bit faster, yes, but not enough to make a difference...

Weak at stock, but a good OCer.

mhhh yes and no... it overclocks a lot, but the performance barely scales... it only gains a couple of additional fps when pushing it from ~750 to ~950... :/

Newegg:
180-190$ HD5830
180-190$ GTX460 768MB
130-140$ HD5770

so, how much is it going to cost?
if its anything above 160$, its a better option to get a 460 or 5830... faster than a 450 at stock and they both overclock very well...
or you get a 5770 for LESS, which is FASTER at stock, and overclocks pretty well too

if it costs 120-140$, its going to be a nice entry level/mainstream card!

my guess is that its going to launch for 169$ or something silly like that... :P
