It is no where near as fast.  The numbers are fooing.  What ATI does not show on there cards is the actual transfer rate.  The GTX 460 has a bandwidth of ~128GB/s where as the 6850 is ~98GB/s  this is where you get your speed.  Where as the GTX 580's are about 200GB/s   Clock speed is only a part of the speed of a graphics card.

Very true about the numbers,it would be nice if they actually standardized the reported speeds and other information.The way it is now,comparing the two brands is very confusing without extensive research.Thanks for the tip.  :salute

It speaks for itself.... 18A.  Your less then limited with you can can replace with.  I for one will not go and look the specs up of each video card.  If you were over 36A then you would be in the ball game for something somewhat up to date, but 18A ties you down to your choices.  Maybe a 9800 but again check the specs for the cards.
