    Well, it does have more shader processors, and faster speeds, and higher bus width, and more memory, more TMUs and more ROPs. That all sounds great doesnt it?
    But it doesn't have THAT much more of any of it, just small bumps in each category. And the card is still handicapped by low amount of vram anyway so the upgrade becomes pointless. Just wait till the next gen is out to do an upgrade if you want to.
