So, equal graphic settings (except resolution).

GTX 480 has 1920 x 1080 = 2073600 pixels = 30.5 fps

HD 6870 has 1920 x 1200 = 2304000 pixels = 36.6 fps

the resolution difference equals to 11.11% more pixels rendered for the 6870.

The 1 Ghz helps it a bit, but Unigine is not really CPU hungry, especially since it's built to show what tesselation is all about.

Anyway, the performance difference looks solid.
Pixel/texel fillrate and AA/AF performance(which are per-pixel) has very little to do with tesselation. However, someone with a card with strong tesselation(GTX x) could test this.
