Most gamers are using a single 24". and the "old" 580 SLI-scaling problems for those on multi-monitor is fixed by 580-3GB now.
As I promised you about alternatives to 6970-2GB, a few days ago, LOL. We may still see other 2GBs cards tho.

So, they way I look at it, nVidia has the upper hand for most gamers (on 24"), and has a good alternative for multi-monitors too in this round.
