Considering that its a 7900GTX and the 7900GT is around the same level of the PS3 GPU my point stands. One 5870 is 8+ * more powerful than the PS3 GPU and therefore the 5970 is more than 12* more powerful.

Nice cherry-picking m8.

So then follows that you also believe that a 8800GT 512Mb is 62,7/16,7= 3,75  times more powerful than a 7900GTX 512Mb?

I didn't think so.

Considering the 8800GT has ~3* the transistors, is clocked higher and the architecture is a more efficient unified design then yes it is very plausible as we're comparing two architectures which have been tweaked as much in drivers as you can reasonably expect.
