You can't stop the green fanboys.
lulz, it performs on par with the 5870 if these benchies are to be believed, and it looks like you can get it for $359 now.

Nvidia has several advantages like PhysX, CUDA and allegedly better tessellation performance. DX11 titles seem to favor Fermi more than other games so I'll take that as a good sign also. All in all, I think it's fair for it to be priced at HD5870 levels.
