So the 5830 is a joke?
The 5830 priced at $230-280 hardly makes sense when you can find 5850s at $300 and sometimes as low as $270
IF the card was priced at $200 then it wouldn't be a joke

True but, correct if im wrong, those essentially the same chip, just with a respin/die shrink... a castrated GF100 and GF104 should be two different chips, despite based on the same architecture..
Well if you look for some more recent speculations, they say that GTX460 is after all GF104...
It's still GT200 (despite many adding a "b" at the end to distinct the 65nm from the 55nm shrink) though. If a reduced chip to 11SMs is named "GF104" then why isn't the 470 chip named something like "GF102" then?
And they've been never wrong before? Mark that I could be completely wrong too, but it's unlikely that any castrated chip carries an alternative codename. Under that reasoning the 5830 shouldn't be named Cypress but Begonia instead
In answer to the speculation that GTX460 and GTX465 use different chips (GF104 and GF100). That speculation doesnt seem feasible to me, as the xx5 moniker was used for different variations of the SAME chip. Understand now?
Why not? It worked fine back when the 8800GTS' only differentiation for consumers was the amount of memory (512 versus 640) GT310 and GT315 also look like a "variation" but it's two completely different beasts.
In CPU space it's common practice though.Mark that I could be completely wrong too, but it's unlikely that any castrated chip carries an alternative codename. Under that reasoning the 5830 shouldn't be named Cypress but Begonia instead
First of all, be very sure to tell you, GF104 silicon has been taped out.

Performance NV contrast HD5830, individual extreme circumstances (such as DX11's curved segment test) to achieve the performance of HD5830 170% (official PDF in the data);
NV will be May 19 to AIC to provide GPU samples Computex heard there will be presentations with GF104 DEMO machine, as listed I guess the earliest by the end of June to July.
170% of HD5830?
Is Unigine Heaven counted as "extreme tesselation circumstances"?
Since 170% of HD5830 in Heaven would fit closer to HD5970 than HD5870

GF104据说要大10%左右
Cho说GF104是无名氏的原因,是因为GTX460并不是完整版的GF104,也就跟5830玩一玩
(GF104 it is said will be around 10% larger
Cho to say GF104 is anonymous of reason, is because of GTX460 and is not complete version of GF104 and at once is to follow closely 5830 and toy with it)
In CPU space it's common practice though.
Yeah, doesn't sound very likely that nvidia wouldn't want to cannibalize the market of their 20% yield 530mm2 chip with the much cheaper to produce 350mm2/256bit one..ie Die size is roughly 10% larger than RV870 and the chip is presently crippled down to 5830 level so as not to adversely effect the GF100 above it.
The above is a bit rose colored glasses to say the least but anyway....

You got your wish! Just checked out newegg and theres a sapphire card going for $215 with free shipping, down to $199 if you're willing to deal with a mail in rebate! And some more cards can be had for 229-239 easily. Seems like there's been a bit of a price cut http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878
I think when the gf104 comes out things wil ldrop in price
With a rumored price of 299$ for GF104 product (and in fact 180$ for GF106 which looks very uncompetitive to me) that seems rather unlikely...I think when the gf104 comes out things wil ldrop in price
Wait a minute... isn't that exactly what you wrote here 10 times before the GF100 release..?
Again, I certainly wouldn't hold my breath.
