that is something what i find quite missleading by many review, wehn you check different review the difference between the 280gtx and the 4870 range from 20W to 50W.

Quite contrary, isn't it?

and if you compare any gt200 to rv770 you will see significant lack of texture shading in the gt200 (im talking bricks on the nearest arch, bottom left corner, look at highlight and detail differences)

i have looked at these on a CRT and the top edges where sky meet flying buttresses there is significant ghosting of the textures on the gt200 that is not present at all in the 770 screens.


EDIT: link again if you missed it http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3341&p=11
when i look at that pics, i hardly see a difference in the AA, sure the texture look different, but since no AF was used the texture point is quite controversial.

Also textrue shading has nothing to do with image quality, its how the game works. Compare another games and you will see different results.
