If you feel that going from 480 to 580 and gaining only 20% performance isn't enough, how do you feel about going from 5870 to 6870 and losing 10%

Yeah, 6970 will be coming, 6870 is meant to be a replacement for 5770, I know, but if you are having problems with naming, means that you worry for stupid people who don't do research and just buy cards according to names; then anyone buying 6870 would be in for a much bigger and worse surprise than one going for the 580...

And apart from those idiots basing purchases on names, naming has no effect on anything whatsoever, anyway.
