That 3Dmark06 score came from a random poster at PCI, probably fake.
heise.de (in german) has new information about the GTX470:

shader@1255 MHz
RAM@1600 MHz
Vantage-X 7511 (compare GTX285/HD5850/HD5870: 6002/6430/8730)
Vantage-P 17156 (compare HD5850/HD5870: 14300/17303)
Unigine benchmark
4xAA [fps]: 29/22/27 (GTX470/HD5850/HD5870)
8xAA [fps]: 20/19/23 (GTX470/HD5850/HD5870)
Maybe the Chinese were lucky in guessing correct numbers then, or actually have valid numbers. Doesn't make any difference. Heise did actually benchmark a card.
What do you disagree with?I'm confused....Disagree. The Unigine bench of 470 at 4xAA matched the leaked result.. It seems 470 would be on par with 5870 at 8xAA.
It is quite curious what is the driver used in the leaked bench. The driver sent out to AIC must be the beta version, as the latest Geforce driver 196.75 WHQL actually doesn't support the upcoming GF100. Is it possible that NV just let the beta driver hide the performance??

This is definately wrong, and means 800 (3200) instead of 1600 (6400), using 1600MHz chips would raise costs by at least a leg, if not arm and legRAM@1600 MHz
Some people report the base clock (800) and some report the DDR clock (1600) and some report the effective data transfer (3200). It's not a big deal.
It's a big deal when it can create confusion.
300W TDP
Does no one care for PCIe stickers anymore?
If this trend continues @ Moore's law's pace, how long do you think will it be before GPU's evolve into ENIAC's shape, diet and size
That sounds like wishful thinking. If they wanted to blindside ATi on launch day why are they hyping geometry and tessellation performance so much? Granted we are at a point where new features are more effective differentiators than raw FPS but intentionally hobbling early drivers doesn't make sense in the current scenario.
I remembered some nv PR was quite confident amd was still in the dark of searching the GF100 performance. Does they just pretend to be another hyping
Is it really too hard to tell?
The first gtx480,gtx470 cards will have pencil writen specs on retail boxes it seemsThe final specification of both 470 and 480 haven't released to AIC yet. It is quite strange for a soon-to-released product line within 22 days.

Yes...it's just hyping by your smile. But I can't understand why AIC still mouth tied with the clock of a short-to release product. It is just strange in the pre launch period.
