Yes that chiphell leaked bench of crysis last week was massively overstated. It made it seem like it was +60% faster than a GTX295, when it is actually +/- 10% of the GTX295 in crysis warhead & crysis. Overall it seems to perform like 4890 crossfire, which would put it at about 110% of a GTX295. Although it is supposed to have excellent advantages at hi-res with hi-AA/AF.
