SERIOUSLY!

4870-->5870 is an upgrade!

Now,
5870-->6870 is not!?

Oh man, oh man, oh man, you gotta work out the conflicting ideas in your mind.
Did you seriously simply chose to ignore 4870-->5870 and took 4870-->5770 instead?


I'm speaking out of pure logic here. If Barts is the 6770 series, it's all fine, as 5770 --> 6770 is a perf improvement. Just like it has always been! (well, except for the very low ends)

I thought I'm an ATi fanboy until I saw this thread. Clearly I'm not a fanboy enough.

EDIT: Still no official slides regarding naming.
