    As soon as the reviews for the 6850 come out, you'll be able to compare cards. Likely, they'll be so similar it won't matter.

    Performance in descending order, some gpu left out

    1. GeForce GTX 485M
    2. Radeon HD 6970M
    3. Radeon HD 6950M
    4. GeForce GTX 470M
    5. GeForce GTX 480M
    6. Mobility Radeon HD 5870
    7. Radeon HD 6870M
    8. GeForce GTX 460M 3DMark06 Score: 12.000 - 14.000 (depends on cpu)
    9. GeForce GTX 280M
    10.GeForce GTX 260M
    11. Mobility Radeon HD 5850
    12. Radeon HD 6850M (GDDR3) 3DMark06 Score: 9336 (Acer Aspire 7750G with Intel Core i7 2630QM)

    There are no reviews about the Radeon HD 6850M with GDDR5. Therefore no exact classification.

    GTX 560M should be between 6. Mobility Radeon HD 5870 and 7. Radeon HD 6870M. But that's only an assumption, because the pre/prototype GTX560M has 1GB instead 1,5GB and therefore only 128 Memory Bus Width instead of 192.

    Aye, but 560m supposedly is 20% faster than 460m which would put it on 5th or 6th places
