Seems a Moratorius over at overclock.net bought a Galaxy GTX 470, but when he went to boot, something else revealed it's self.......GTX 465.

Seems Nvidia sent some chips for the new 465, but they got mixed up and sold as 470s...lol. Nvidia is livid and Galaxy's fermi production is shut down during the investigation process.
Real, hoax or publicity stunt?

Extremely long thread, but still an interesting read nonetheless:
My Galaxy GTX 470 GC is identified as a GTX 465 - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

Lol.

Though I imagine it's real, I can't see something like this beign a PR stunt or hoax for just some random guy, especially when he would have paid the price of a 470 and the 465 is going to be cheaper. If it was the other way round and he got sent a better card then maybe.

Though after reading further in to the thread, it gets hard to tell.
