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.

So it'd be a good idea to keep the 5870 then? I just heard like from way back that Nvidia's Ferma will destroy the Radeon 5xxx series..
Do you have any idea how the 600/700 Ferma's are going to be in terms of performance?
Edit.. Oh yeah, what about the poor driver support for the 5xxx series... I've heard that Nvidia has much better driver support and is much more compatible (less crashes while gaming, etc) with alot of the games out there.
