I stagger it like this:
5750: Performs similar to 'stock' GTS450 at 700mhz. Overclocks to ~5770/Asus GTS450 at 925mhz. Does not have voltage adjustment, and is at ~1.05v, so that's your maximum potential without hard-modding that most people won't do. Still, it's also freaking $105 for three diff models after rebate at newegg.
Verdict: Similar performance, less power consumption, bargain basement price.
WIN.
5770: Performs at stock 850mhz similar to GTS450 overclocked to 925mhz. Stock voltage overclocking will beat a GTS450 pushed to the edge of releasing magic smoke. It also uses 1.16v with similar voltage regulators to the GTS450, allowing anyone with a simple click of afterburner/something else to do what ASUS did with this card...and decimating it in the process. It's not tough to find reviews of 5770 at 1ghz using similar voltage to this product, and showing them around the speed, if not slightly faster than a 4890/5830. Did I mention you can find them starting at $125 for a 875mhz model (that would likely beat this card) sporting a free copy of Dirt 2 at newegg?
Verdict: Better performance on level playing-field, lower power consumption, similar price. WIN.
GTS450: At stock speeds competes with a year old product that launched for a similar/lower price and is now much cheaper. Stock overclocked with ridiculous voltage (1.28v) and clockspeed to match a year-old product clocked lower using less voltage and power, with that similar clock headroom left untapped. Has Cuda and PhysX that I doubt most are deeply passionate about. Certainly earns the wink/nod title of mainstream Fermi.
FAIL.
GTX460 768: Disproportionately less higher price for increased performance. Massive WIN.
I love TPU, I do. I much appreciate the disabled die diagrams and the % comparisons across the massive range of cards (usually with relevant ones sporting new drivers) but man, awarding this a 9 makes question if you have a scale out of 100 or if someone be smoking the crack.
