That's not a fare fight, LOL, and then AMD may even get the upper hand in performance (maybe, but we have to wait and see).
But even then, the mainstream-battle is not about performance-crown, it's all about price/performance.
The battle is going to be fought in price-arena, in this round.

If I'm not mistaking, nVidia is going to price this well, but nVidia shouldn't have a big problem to put a big blow on 275$, after all this their mainstream card. We have to wait and see how aggressive they will get, tho.
Im not right with you, a 6870 PCS+ (940mhz ) with actual driver completely destroy a HD5870 ( so largely faster of the 470 ), XFX release this month a 975mhz version of it .... As i don't see the 560 at 480 level ( so 570 level ), im not really sure you will see a bad fight allready between 560 & 6870 ... let's alone the 6950 1gb, the card will be largely covered between the new 6870's and the 69501gb.
