No!!!
I just argued as you said something about impressive results. Compared to what? Have you seen actual benchmarks with ghz edition vs 680, which is a more suitable comparison than normal edition vs 680, because nvidia clocked their card nearly to the max to compete with ati. Now, with new 12.11 driver the ati proves in nearly all games to be faster, even in games explicitly mentioned as nvidia game.
Just wabted to say, that nvidia lost the battle this time and even the big newspapers reviewed and set ati as the fastest card. And additionally the bad interface and hardware components (especially in the 660 and 660ti), which are even behind their older brothers makes me wonder, why somebody really buy a 6x series. It is just the bad knowledge of that fact. NVidia is laughing behind the scenes as they proved better than ever before, that you can save component money, set up a quick released card and they still sell it to most of the kids!
The cards performance overall is not bad. It is a high end card, so what do you expect? But they sold you this card and that is, what they aimed for. But they will winder themselves and get a smule in the face, that this quickly released card is so successful. If I were NVidia, I would continue selling crappy cards for 2 more years and safe development money for a big bang, if needed.
Just my opinion, which is the opinion of most enthusiasts with knowledge out there.
