The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

This is getting ridiculous. At launch the highest Cypress chip (5870) was slower than the x2 version of the latest generation. (4870x2 > 5870) Now it's a problem that 470 (not even 480) is slower than a GTX 295?

Yes, because ATI launched a mid range chip with 2.15 Billion Transistor and nvidia is releasing a real high end monster with 3 Billion Transistors.

Well thats cause ATI plainly screwed. In three weeks we will know if same happened with nVidia.
