I cant load that guru site at all now.. did he mention which driver version he was using in that review?
Cat 10.10 beta.

Trying to figure out why your 6870 >= 5870 predictions didn't materialize?

yeah that explains the low #, 10.11 gives the 6K series a huge boost. i'm surprised AMD did not made these drivers public for launch.

edit: AIBs had time to sample the cards with 10.11 and it was much faster than 10.10, to clarify.

This will be very easy to prove/disprove.
if 10.11 drivers come out and a big performance bump for the 6xxx series cards isn't included, we can completely ignore Silverforce11.
NP.
I'm just curious why they didn't release their best drivers for a launch.. i'll ask around.
A Chinese review site also broke the NDA:

985 core overclock here (which is capped; CCC typically caps overclocks at a low number; the oc'er also didn't overvolt the card, either). That isn't impressive but it's capped by CCC so who knows what MSI Afterburner can do. Also note that in order to heavily oc a GTX 460 to get to stock 6870-caliber speeds, you would drive up your power usage by a LOT, something like 100 watts, in additioning to shortening the life of the GF104 chip inside of it. I'm wondering if other reviewers will get better oc's.
I did hear something funny on another board, though: HD6870 = GTS 450 die size, GTX 460 power consumption, and GTX 470 performance.
Who cares what the HD6870 can overclock to.
The HD6750 is clocked much lower. Be much more interesting to see how high it can go.

Looking at power usage it looks like it might be voltage limited. I'll bet it'll O/C better with some extra volts?
