Think like ATI, stock speeds only half the story, the OC potential is mahooosive just like on 79xx series.
Awesome news Gibbo!

Can't see it myself.
Then you haven't been paying attention dear boy
Apparently Nvidia have told retailers in the USA to drop the price to $499.
In other words, it's price war time so grab your handbags.

So we will be seeing 1200Mhz+ clocks on a 680 then, come the reviews.

I have been paying attention, $499 doesn't = £400 over here (especially where gpu's are concerned). I just don't see it coming in at the £400 mark.
That was very much the exception not the rule, 24/7 7970 clocks on here seem to be between 1100 - 1200

Now to see if its worth the cash to trade in my 470

Maybe if this was 2001 mate I would agree with you.
However, things are not as horrible as they used to be. Remember, Nvidia have the upper hand as they have the faster card. So, what do you do?
Option 1. Sell it at the same price as the 7970 and put people off with a high price, meaning only the die hards buy it.
Option 2. Price it less than the 7970, exposing AMD, putting them on the back foot and instantly and immediately pretty much stop all sales of the 7970?
This was not a uber part for Nvidia to develop. It was a mid ranged part they got lucky with.
