It's based on pure logic of product positioning. It has to beat the 6870 convincingly, so at least 5% faster and cannot get too close to the 570, so not more than 10% faster, since it would get within another 10% to the 570.
Regarding power consumption, we will have to wait and see what does nVidia mean this time, when saying 180W. If it's total board power, like all cards except the X70 and X80 are being reported, then the perf/watt ratio of a 560 and 6870 can be quite close to each other.
Yes, because nVidia drivers have never ever given nobody hell.![]()
