Before you bother wasting time with that...
Nvidia makes what is called a "reference GPU" for each new model they produce. Hadware manufacturers then "design" their own based off of the reference design. Different companies make different changes, most of which are with the cooling. Some companies overclock, some don't. Etc etc. But at the end of the day, they're all the same cards.
And there is no difference when it comes to "Mac" specific GPU's. The only difference is the firmware. So for instance, the 9800 GPU you have or had in your mac... I can take a PC "branded" 9800, flash the mac firmware and run it in a Mac... there are absolutely zero differences in the hardware specs.
