well at least they have done a little more than just overclock a 260... not much though :/

Well... 24 stream processors more and a clock bump. In terms of extra power it's prob not far off the power of an 8600 GT. Not that that is saying much.

Judging by NVIDIA's naming choice, we're expecting performance to be somewhere between the GeForce GTX 280 and the 216-core GeForce GTX 260.

And judging by the specs, it's better than the 280 in everything but memory. It'd be logical to assume that in this case 275 will beat 280, unless memory peformance is the limiting factor.

Enough with this generation of chips already - we have more than enough choice. Roll on the new architecture with Dx11 support.

I reckon the slightly higher clocks on this board will eek out the 280 at resolutions below 1920x1200. Above however, and even more so with high AA levels is where the extra memory and 512-bit vs 448-bit memory interface will stretch it's legs a little and the 280 will take the lead.

(This is all based on what I have seen in reviews with graphics cards in the past).

Amen to that!
