Pretty nice best / beats a GTX580 that even about a year ago would be like double this price. Probably the one thing is performance to watt but not the worst... 30% improved over the GTX580, while <25% from a GTX660Ti. Although, most perf/Watt reference on gaming like Far Cry 2 (or Furmark) both artificially benefit Nvidia. When you take actual gaming performance of 5-6 or more titles that drops 10-15% behind the GTX660Ti.
This is a newer version with the PCS+ cooler which is different than the Myst version
