NV35 vanilla downclocked ?

Albatron is downclocking the 5900 (not U) from 425MHz to 400MHz. Why do I keep hearing the DustBuster again ?

Unless Nvidia officially stated that the 5900 non-ultra was going to ship at 425, I wouldn't consider this a downclocking.

Well, I know NV doesn't impose clockspeeds on its board makers, but wasn't 425 the supposed target for the vanilla 5900 ? If not, I stand corrected.

Asus' 5900 vanilla is clocked at 400 as well.

Um where did NVIDIA say it was going to be 425? According to Anand's preview the ultra was 450/425. To differentiate Ultra from non-Ultra 25MHz core wouldn't cut it

AFAICR, NVIDIA hadn't released clocks for the vanilla or value 5900 (I remember asking NVIDIA at E3 but they said it hadn't been determined)

Tom's preview also said only on the 5900 Ultra specs:

I thought there was two "Ultra" cards with the only difference being how much memory they have.
The strange thing is that on Gainwards page they say that the 5900U-256 has a coreclock of 400mhz but i thought it was just a typo.

Nope, I recall it correclty at E3, just checked my notes. The only one they were talking clocks on was the Ultra
