If Geforce 8900 turns out to be using the G80 chip, that will mean that the chip had more Shaders all along. Our sources confirm that Geforce 8900 GTX has more shaders.

We know that this will speed up some of the games and definitely in the "scientific" GPGPU calculations.

With that you are still topped at 680+MHz.
