    Of course!

    ...aside from the shader structure, tesselation unit, output display, cooler and everything else a GPU consists of.

    The 6870 is also a G92 8800gt.
    It's also a 9800XT in a Halloween costume.

    But it's a fact that HD6970 is just a faster Voodoo 3 3000...

    Nono, u got it wrong, It was nVidia who bought 3Dfx. So Fermi is just faster Voodoo.

    HD6k is just faster RAGE 3D!

    On a serious note, I really hope the 6870 at least matches the 5870. I actually think it will, but lets wait and see, reviews should be out next week hopefully
