Looks like the Chinese website expreview has put up the first 4870 review up on the web. Translate link (google translate, might be slow until they get it mirrored on their english site I guess):

Looks like it beats the GTX 260 across the board even with AA and AF. Even manages to match the GTX280 in some games, especially when 8xAA and AF are turned on.
If this card really is $100 cheaper than the GTX260, then the 4870 is going to be a killer performer
I can't wait for the other reviews out there to finally come out. This last week of GPU excitement isn't quite over yet! Bring on summer!
