5870 is just way too low (just 27.69% faster than 285), NV is BSing us. 5870's score should in fact be even higher with updated drivers, anand's review is ancient - add 5-15%, not totally sure about the accurate figure.
Assuming the original 34.64% performance improvement over 285 we already get 67.77fps.
And assuming drivers improved the performance by 10% (yea, that's where BS starts, obviously, I suppose it's less due to CPU bottlebeck? and if there's no bottleneck it's probably more) we get 74.54fps. Stock clocks.
And one more edit: who is going to run these cards with under-4GHz processor anyway? So there should be no CPU bottleneck, but that requires a whole new test I am afraid.
