Crysis?

What's more, if you are buying a high end card, you also want it to be able to max out games that aren't out yet, but will come out within 6 or so months of the card's release.

Jesus man, lower your expectations.
I'm being realistic.

I expect ATI and Nvidia to make this level of improvement, especially if as stated by jaredpace, there is a 2gig version of the 5870.

I would expect this new gen architecture to make better use of 2gig than the 4870 architecture was capable of doing.
