ATI new naming scheme is retarded
why would they name the new card the same performance code when it is even slower than the last gen. card??
When we went from 3850 to 4850 to 5850, there has always been a HUGE performance gain going from one generation to the next in the same performance code.
but this time they decided to make it slower...?
They new 6850 and 6870 should've been named to 6670 and 6770 to keep the name & performance consistent. (except ATI probably doesn't wanna do that because naming it 6850/6870 will sell better)
Btw...5850 is 1-2 class higher than GTX460...so maybe you should compare something in the same group.
