Ok but do you really think a HD4870 is in a Wii U. 0% chance of that happening. 350 gigflops is at the very least within the neighborhood of the Wii U. 

Indeed. No way does it have a 4870. The 4870 is stronger than a 4850 which was in turn stronger than my old 5670 (DX11 card). I can say without a doubt that the 5670HD outperforms the Wii U. Its a GPU that could run a game like Mario Kart 8 in 900p60 with AA . It could handle several DX9 ports at 1080p30. The Wii U probably has a A 5550HD equivalent (25GB/s bandwidth, 352GFlops in DDR3), 5570HD at best. Acording to toms "best graphics for the money" chart the 5550 performs similar to a 4670. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html. As for the 5670 here is its review, even though these are older games they would run this well on the system (several 1080p60s) http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5670,2533.html

Interesting, I never knew anyone who actually had am 5670. I have a HD 8670D proabably the best card I've card. The Wii U GPU is deffintely a mixture of things. It has certain specs that are on level with 4xxx and 5xxx graphics but I still think it's very discrete at best.
