Seriously, with all the erroneous info floating, I would be hesitant to take any of this as fact.. The Galaxy website showed the GTX 480 having 512sp after all.

And the speculation about the GTX 470/480 only being 5-10% faster than the HD 5850/5870 should be taken with a healthy dose of salt..

Just wait for the launch date.
