Exactly

And I think at this point anyways, if Nvidia is still deciding on clocks, I wouldn't be surprised if the shader count isn't set so a GTX 360/380 naming scheme might be pointless to argue about

This card feels a lot like GT200... as in it's great performance, but it won't shine until the refresh/when yields are better (a'la GTX280 -> GTX 285)
