A 285 FTW already is 80% of a 5870 in Crysis, how fast is "much faster?" If 20% is "much faster" that would make the 5850 96% as fast as a 5870, which for some reason I don't think is the case.
Yes, but we still don't know on what CPU (clock, model), what RAM, etc.
Crysis tends to be CPU dependent quite a bit.
I'm personally looking forward to tests with highly OCed i7 as a base machine (3.8GHz-4.4GHz range). Then we will be able to eliminate most of the CPU bottleneck

Anyway my HD4870CF is already sold, where is my new card!
