50% more shaders at 50% higher clock combined with 100% more memory bandwidth than the 3870...WOW!
Let alone the 4870X2, If the specs of 4870X1 are true, that card will wipe the floor with the best cards we have nowadays. And it will be priced @ <$300.
The 4870 looks like the "must have" replacement for my 8800GTS-g92.
nVidia will have to do a lot more then changing the PCB and renaming the 88xx with higher(98xx) numbers. I wonder what are the specs of their 55nm g92(read g80) shrink. I hope it is not another 9xxx joke.
