after looking at these benches a little more closely I see that as the AA and AF are turned up the card scales much better. This leads me to believe that theres more performance to be had as the drivers mature a bit. Im curious to see what the refresh has in store? 512 cuda cores and maybe a 32nm process will lower power requirements and heat disapation to a normal level. I think then this card will shine. Unfortunetly for Nvidia, Ati's next generation will probably be out by then and nvidia will be competing with a whole new architecture.
