GTX480 Ultra 245W

Code:
GTX285	HD5870	GΤΧ480	%Faster	Game
65,7	83,8	109,72	30,93	Far Cry 2
115	111,2	192,05	72,71	Batman Arkham Asylum
85,5	88,4	142,79	61,52	Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X
88,5	89,3	147,8	65,5	Resident Evil 5
60,3	65,4	100,7	53,98	World in Conflict 
6376	7953	10649	33,89	3DMark Vantage Extreme GPU
This table is very inaccurate, at least for 285-5870 part. Not to mention 50%+ advantages of GTX480, lol.
