Really dodgy Fermi vs 5870 benchmarks

The original post for this was on the same thread as that 3DMark 06 benchmark. In the original post it makes direct reference to the GTX470. That post is just poor copypasta work.

Really? Rroff and others have been saying the gtx470 should be 5% quicker than the 5870 for ages, not way slower.
I dunno about the gtx470 - its not exactly the part that was originally intended as the 360 - shader clocks are way down compared to what they were playing with back when I was saying that, but SPs seem to be up a bit.
Those benchmarks seem somewhat dodgy at best and dirt2 is hardly a good basis for overall performance so who knows.

My gut feeling, based on reading all the fermi reports, is that the 5870 will sit inbetween the 470 and 480 with not much in it either way. These bechmarks of course need to be taken with a small salt mine.
Well we have had pictures of the cards and boxes but still no real benchmarks i honestly cannot see fermi destroying the 5xxx series or by now there wouldn't be anyone in the world that didn't know about it and the fact other stuff is leaking out makes me think they are not holding back info on a wonder card they have up their sleeve. None of this is looking good i was really hoping that a stormer would come out from nvidia hit ati a bit who would then lower prices but right now i cannot see any reason for a price drop maybe the opposite.
