All nVidia needs to do it to get 20% ahead of HD5870 with a dissent power composition. Even if they could get much more out of the GF100, they would probably limit the performance of the retail GPU just about 20% over HD5870, I would think.
Benchmarks change as do which games benefit certain manufacturers. However, FC2 at Ultra High details remains one of the most demanding games in any category.

On the flip side of that coin, this was a PR event by NVIDIA which means they showed what they wanted to show and no more. I don't think average performance will be close to what was shown but then again, considering drivers can mature and clock speeds will increase, you never know...
