Im pretty much clueless as to when the lower level cards will be released. Have been clueless for months it seems. Anyone with information is encouraged to post.

So far the only Kepler based card lower than GTX670 is the GT640 (retail). All other cards are just rebadged 5 (or even 4?) series cards. Some of the elder ones also got rebadged as GT640, but these are not supposed to show up in retail...

newegg lists 460 465 and 450 in their power supply calculator, would think a retailer like newegg would definitely know.

Several sites rumour July or August for some incarnation(s) of a GTX 660.

They should be good cards for people wanting to upgrade within a tight budget and keep/refresh their PCIE2 setup. Higher end cards on PCIE2 are more likely to suffer from lack of PCIE performance.

Did you mean 660, 665 and 650?

I think there are already mobile chips named this way, but they're nothing but Fermis and GK107 (as on GT640).
