The first ones I saw showed good performance from a mixed 3850 and 3870, but this one shows it is bad:

I'm going to hunt for the one I saw a couple of weeks ago....

In some games like bioshock though, there is very little difference:

But in a lot of games there is a big difference.
Drivers game is played every time new cards come out, so when the dust settles, yea you have similar performance.

My problem with this is, ATI was supposed to use the 4870 to pre-empt the 9900...by releasing earlier they are not doing that anymore 0_o
