Gotta hand it to Nvidia on this one... they number and name stuff in such a way that a pretty middle-of-the-road part is being compared (by the OP) to the single fastest mobile GPU currently available. Here's you a matrix for Nvidia mobile GPUs...

The 330 sits in the middle of the "performance" category... while that 5870 would be perched at the top of the "enthusiast" category.
