I dunno, the bar for nVidia is pretty high:
850Mhz 800SP 128bit (2.4Ghz GDDR5)

May not seem like much, but for fraction of cost and power of HD4870, the HD57xx has nearly same performance and DX11 (ofcourse).

Do you think really nVidia will be making 850Mhz chips anytime this year - remember GT240 = 550Mhz?
