Right now I have it sitting at 700/1509/1250 and at these speeds, it outperforms a stock GTX 280 and obliterates the HD 4870.

With the 180xx drivers come out, the gap between the HD 4870 and the GTX 260 will be increased even further.
Hmm i don`t think GTX260 216SP is THIS card what i`m thinking about. OK it`s a little faster than HD4870 but it`s still more expensive than it and - which is important - it uses huge and very expensive to produce 65nm GT200.

IMO GTX260 216SP is much more like 112SP revisions of GF8800GTS about year ago.

So...I`m still waiting for worthy GF8800GT successor
