I have a feeling Nvidia shouldhave chosen slightly higher clockspeeds for the 1024mb card, just to separate the cards more for what you pay. something mild like 750 core 1500 shaders wouldhave done the trick, then again I bet they love how overclockable it is, becuase they are selling insanely.

EDIT: I also just noticed that nothing in ATi's current lineup beats this card for price vs performance! thats a testament to GF104 alright. Fermi done right.
that's somewhat true. tho you have to remember that w1z's perf/dollar graph is based on the HD 5850 being $310, whereas on newegg you can get em for $259-269. So if you plug that price in for HD 5850 i bet it's perf/dollar would be very close to the GTX 460's.
