Plus those are old drivers, so some of those games will perform 10-20% on the HD 3870 X2 already.
I think you are on a dreaming trip

If its 50% faster you should be lucky. Still same amount of ROPs etc.

Sounds like the old "R600 GTX killer" all again. Currently AMD products the last 2 years seems to have been hyped to the sky, just to fail so hard compared to the hype on release day.
