As for speed, I would reckon it is similar to 7750 at 800mhz. I would also reckon it is slower than a 7750 at 900mhz. AMD certainly didnt change their products mid-cycle just for kicks.
Math sez something like:
512 @ 1/6 rate special function = 426.66_
426.6_/384 * 800 = 888.88_mhz
with bandwidth difference you get something around 926mhz. Whaddya know, it turbos to 950mhz.
Avg those out and it should be roughly 2% faster...you know, enough to put it ahead in W1z' bar graph. ;)

This doesn't bode well for mid-range because a GK104 might not scale well with so many SMX disabled? A 660ti would be 6 SMX, a 660 Non-ti working with 5, and a 650 having 4, which is twice what a GK107 has (we just don't know). We aren't yet told just how many SMX the GK107 has on it, but I think it’s a full iteration with 2 SMX and if it is... this is weak.
And to the price PNY web store list it at $130

the similarity to these listed specs is not coincidental ,kepler my ass.
no mention of kepler anywhere or the shader clocks is instantly a bit suss, as 384 new kepler shaders arent going to be very impressive at all imho
this is NOT a 560 ti....my well educated guess is that the 560ti will smoke this thing!!!

anyone noticeing the disparity between this and their gk104, it seems to me to prove that most of the 680's awsome gameing performance comes from the quad setup, polymorph and raster outputs and that its shader arrays deffinately arent as strong fermi's was or Amd's are
