This sounds too good to be true. This type of change would definitely be worthy of being called the gtx 580 in my honest opinion because that would be pulling a woman out of a hat. Much better performance and more importantly, much better performance per watt. If that speed is optained on that type of cooler(it looks smaller than the gtx 480), the overclocking potential would be ridiculous.

But how the F would they have done it? That has got me questioning that score. But since this card appears to be in a couple people's hands, that has got to be the only thing keeping that score plausible.

I thought it could initially be a SLI gf104 board, but that would score significantly higher at those clocks. But if those clocks are wrong, then that score is awfully close to SLI gtx 460s.
