1150 = 850 + 35%
but you need some headroom for clocks, so if they can clock to 1150 they would be sold as 1100... still a healthy boost and it might get rv870 into gf100 perf terriroty...

i think this is very unrealistic, but IF ati or one of their partners manages to push a single rv870 card to 480 levels... that would be VERY impressive...
a 2bn gpu perfmorming like a 3bn gpu...
Its the custom highend boards, ROG, Matrix, Lightning, etc. he was also talking about overclocking those cards.
