Yeah i feel your sarcasm,but there is no need for it . The Cypress GPU has double the specs of the RV770/790 so one doesn't have to be a design team member to roughly guess what its performance will be. There is a question will the GDDR5 used on it be a bottleneck or not,but the 5870 IS going to outperform 4870X2 or match it in some worst case. Also there is some talk that 5870 trails a bit or roughly matches the GTX295 ,which is roughly (surprise surprise) 25-30% faster than 4870X2
