And you were expecting exactly what??
We all knew that 4870 will be 20% over 625Mhz for the core and 2x the bandwidth of the 4850.
If all this bring a hefty 25% lead of 4850 out of the box,it would mean that 4870 could very well be challenging and beating GTX260 card.Also due to better power supply to the core on the 4870,we can expect better OCing while the GDDR5 will provide enough bandwidth to feed it.Add in Asus or similar partner which will bring much better 3rd party cooling solutions,the 4870 will probably be the best perf./$/watt card out there,bar none.
