50$ more and you get a gtx480 thats faster and then overclocks up to 18% on top of that... plus better tesselation perf, plus likely perf bumps with future drivers...
plus half a gigabyte more VRAM...

Both this and Lightning are far from an "answer to GTX480" IMHO. The "answer" to GTX480 is the 5870 or the 5970. To be honest for there to be an answer, there needs to be a question as well, and the first GF100's can't ask strong questions
