plus it's 1920x1200 (more pixels) vs 1902x1080 (higher fov?). no idea how much of a difference this makes.

6870 looks promising though. my 4850 feels a bit old when playing bc2 - i'm quite gpu limited there, and looking forward to replace my gpu with one of the 6000 series cards.
[speculation] i could see 35% faster in tesselation specific intensive stuff, in DX 9/10 its probably not going to be more than 15-20% faster [/speculation]

I was hoping the 6870 would come in at a lower price point than the 5870 but looking at this chart doesn't really reflect this.
