That statement came from NVidia themselves... You'll have to find something not bottlenecked elsewhere to see that show up. Similar to how even though the x1900xt had 3 times the shader power of the x1800xt it didn't always show too much of a gain early on, but you test it with new games and it'll show up almost every single time.

The big thing is, other than crysis, we really don't have any titles that REALLY can push these new architectures. Other than the Big C, how many titles can't be maxed out with an 8800GTX or even an OC'ed 3870(albeit, without AA)? We need to see some seriously stressful titles before we see what this new architecture is truly capable of. I am, however, noting just how small the hit of going from DX9 high to DX10 very high in crysis is, and that shows a very bright future for these cards.

btw, did you notice the size of the jump from the 177.26 to 177.38(13 FPS in DX10 very high crysis at 1920x1200!)? I wonder what the official drivers released within the opening week will end up with performance wise.
