The 4870 blows it out if the water do not let the 1GB framebuffer fool you. ;)

GDDR5 is a joke, stupid naming...(understand that it is not like ZOMG epic like they want you to think. Just like they measure in stream processors instead of processing cores because they can fit a bigger number in. Working at bestbuy I had a customer who wanted to know the difference and ATI is brainwashing!)

Not to sure about DDR5 but their is a huge difference in Experience The DirectX 10.1 Difference, between 10.0. http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/the-directx-10-1-difference/316762
