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
Haha, there was no sarcasm in my post ! Just wishful thinking

I am certain ATi would not leave such an obvious bottleneck unattended on their cards? After all, I'm sure the majority of their development teams have had much more experience designing video cards than most people on the forums...
