Also, overclocking seems to give HUGE performance boosts: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...nce/page17.asp
yes "his" card, he came to this thread talking about getting this next, before any reviews were even yet

And yes, its 25% more expensive, but even Anand concludes its only 10-15% faster on average. And overclocking works both ways

I mean, by all means vote with your wallet, it ain't my money, but I don't see the 10-15% (lower with 2560x1600) being worth 25% more expense + 100W more power load, especially since I leave my computer on 24/7 for various programs
