I belive the arugment was that the 6870 was a bad gpu, because it was slower than a 5870.Who are you talking to? what argument is that countering? whatever it is it hasn't been discussed for pages, I don't mind going back to it but I am just not sure in what context to take what you say.
the 5870 is faster, but its also a bigger chip than the 6870 (~32%
So Id argue that the 6870 is a decent chip... its performance/mm^2 is high, as is its performance/watt.
In that reguard its a better chip than the 5870.

I only really compaired the 6870 to the 470, because the size differnce is obvious, and their performance simular. It was just to make a point, that the 6870 isnt pr say a bad gpu, even if it is slower than the 5870.
