not sure about u guysbut thats around the speed of a gtx 280 /285 . and well..it isnt much of an upgrade unless u now buyin gaming goodsthe good part is the newer features..like the 32x AA

The memory is a LOT better, and the cores + speed + calcs per Hz makes a difference XDIt should be a good bit better than a GTX 285

Overall gpu design and interconnect efficiency/throughput together is what makes a card.
I have to agree with what is being said there.I previously owned 2 GTX280s in SLI, and when i got my GTX470 i expected it to work just a tad bit better than a single 280 due to its specs, but i was rudely surprised when the 470 ran all my games at the exact same settings as my SLI setup, with exactly the same performance or even better! (only game that showed slight performance drop was crysis)It goes to show how little clock speeds play in the overall performance factor.BTW, the tessellation cores on these things are FTW! All of the DX11 benchmark stuff i used (the interactive ones) run really smooth and look amazing, overall i was impressed with its performance over my SLI 280s
