Someone's using an old 8800 driver.... I can tell you that at the office we've seen very very good DX10 numbers out of the G80.

nVidia is 128 1+1 or 2+1. cant remember(think its 1+1). They run at those 1.35Ghz or so.
AMD is 64 4+1 that runs at ~750Mhz.

320 is a PR gimmick.

Exactly. Technically, going by AMD/ATi's math, NVidia has 256 shaders going at close to double the speed of ATi's. I love it how people keep pointing out "but the R600 has 320 shaders", when in reality, it only has 64. The total package won't be able to be used in a lot of situations, as only the most complex shaders will have the ability to take advantage of them.
