The R420 still has the same exact aritechture as the R300 which was the original 9700 core. ATI added 8 more Pixel pipelines(where most the speed comes from) and 2 more Vertex pipelines. Then overclocked the hell out of it. That's all there is to it. Then pair it with some 1.6ns GDDR3 and you have blazing fast performance with 'old' tech.

Why would you need to buy a new power supply to run a 6800U? It comes with 2 y-splitters and will easily run on any 350W PSU.
