And, it beats GTX 260, in price and performance. Our review will be out in days, keep tuned.

interesting fact or as expected?

I don't know. I want to see benchmarks.

If it is anywhere near the gtx260 for a reasonable price, it will be my first ATI card since the 9800, more than 5 years ago! :prod:

(I have already sold my 8800GT...:naughty:)

4870 NEEDS to beat the GTX 260. Otherwise the GTX+ will outperform it at a much cheaper price...
