That should be the most retarded rumour of the year. Whoever told you this was either bs'ing you or was just plain stupid. Although RV770 and G200 have arch's similarities, they have radically different approaches to it. Check out anand's review to get a glimpse of them. And no, there is not a shader domain and core domain clocks in RV770.
Wow, the 4870 will be my next card for sure. Upgrading to 4850 would be useless to me so I was considering a GTX260 but the 4870 destroys it once you crank up resolution and AA (that's the point of these cards, anyway) and for $100 less. I'm amazed... didn't see it coming. To put it simply, Nvidia should just abort the GTX260. There's no reason for it to exist unless it's priced around $279.
