Scores of upcoming cards, or at least some of them, have already leaked on the internet.
Perhaps someone went to a shop and bought one, possibly for the insane amount of $799 that Theo mentioned here but we learned that price hasn't stopped enthusiasts as those cards sold out imnediately. As Nvidia said, it's not expensive if people want to buy it.
The XFX card is by default clocked to 580MHz core and 1730MHz memory and at that speed with not the fastest around Athlon X2 3800+ it can score 9871 3dmark. If you overclock the card to just 600MHz core and 1800MHz memory you can score 10110 3dmarks.
You actually do a CPU like the Athlon FX 57 to unleash the pure power of this card and that's what reviews on Monday will show. For all of you impationt one, bear in mind that cards will be in retail at launch.
