A whole lot better. Check out some of these benchmarks, it even beats the 6800ultra in mostscenerios.

It's about 2.5 times better. I'm considering this card also, I have a 9700pro btw.

Yes, althought it is not a big deal as it still comes with the 3 year warranty. However, it does say pre-order, so I don't know when it would be shipped. At that price (i think it is 450 retail?), it might have a large backorder.
