I think the reverse of that might just happen here. And still no numbers from any sources makes me think that this card won't live up to the GTX 295-killing hype, I won't be surprised if that's the case, in fact I'll be surprised if 5870 can pull within %10 performance of GTX 295

I'll buy it anyway.
there's also rumours about 1200SP's and 2000SP's but the general consensus is that no matter how many SP's it has, it's going to make up for it in clock speed.
