If i correctly understand the slides only 2x performance increase from 5870? I hope it does better in general gaming. Specs looks nice on paper.

If I'm not mistaken nV has 1.8x peak performance lead over Cypress in Heaven benchmark with extreme tessellation.

So how exactly is it slower?

Well is that the case with 580? Not sure where you got 1.8 i thought Nvidia has about 2x the performance. Lets see when the real thing comes out how its going to pan out. Right now its just speculation anyway. If Cayman is that good in tessellation and catches up to the green its the best scenario for us. Me like competition

Add 20% for GTX580.

This is official nV slide btw.

Well thanks for the slides. Lets hope these speculations come true. If Cayman will beat Nvidia offerings in tessellation it's sure to be sweet for the red team. Then we will see lower prices and more innovation.
