HD5970 is also $200 more expensive
I found a Diamond 5970 for $602: http://www.ncixus.com/products/index.php?sku=46685

BF:BC2 1920x1200 4AA/16AF
GTX480 = 50 frames
5970 = 88 frames (+76%)
2560x1600 the difference is a whopping +97%
Metro 2033 1920x1200 AAA/4AF
GTX480 = 35 frames
5970 = 48 frames (+37%)
STALKER: Call of Pripyat 2560x1200
GTX480 = 59
5970 = 78 (+32%)
So you pay 20% more for 30-70% performance increase in most demanding games (other than Crysis which is a PITA on any card)!
...and GTX480 is NOT available for sale yet....will consume more power, be louder and slower by a lot more than 15% champ!
