LOL @ people who go by the advice in Anand's article

Truth is, the 480 is barely faster than a 5870, but at a MUCH higher cost. And the power consumption is ridiculous.

The 470 is about level with a 5850, in some cases faster, in some cases slower. But again it's much more expensive, consumes way more power, and is way louder.

The 400 series is pretty much a flop. Although SLI performance is pretty impressive.
