your knee jerk reaction is understandable. but I'm not comparing absolute performance like you imagined. the efficiency comparison is valid and pressing. everyone hates gf100 because it is inefficient. 5850/5870 are pretty awesomely efficient. and if these benchmarks are true, gf104 completely reverses that, becoming the new efficiency leader.

combined with the smaller chip and board size (which directly equates to lower cost), this means people will love it for all the reasons they hate gf100...
