Oh yes, keep repeating. It is closer to RV770, I did not say it isn't, but definitely is far away from R600. If you say so, you mean the gaming side of GPU is the same and in this case it is just right to say the GF100 is same as G80, too. In both architectury, AMD and NVIDIA, is full ton of GPGPU changes from old R600%G80. But who in cares?! You play video encoding? You play Photoshop or what? I'd say 99% play games.

So if the cards are 20% better on average, it'll stay that. No driver-miracles possible. I only hope people will finally end with this "drivers will change everything" BS
