so according to current rumors 6950s raw processing power (1536 SPs) is 10% higher than 5870; together witht he supposed to be more efficient shader setup this thing should be able to beat the 480 and 6970 should be on par with the 580 (if we consider the gap between 50 and 70 cards of previous series)
