My understanding is that Nvidia has aimed big, which has a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Now, when Nvidia does a presentation about this before the cards are out, they are obviously going to point out the advantages (tessellation, geometric computing, GPGPU etc.) and leave out the disadvantages (price, heat). And from what we are hearing, 1.25x 5870 is what Fermi is going to be, and that isn't exactly a great advantage.

So Nvidia leaves that out. Dirt and Stalker don't use enough tessellation to make Fermi really stand out, so it's going to be at best 1.3x better than a 5870.
