At $500 - $600 you would be foolish to get a GTX580 with the HD7970 on the market at the same price with better performance.
There aren't many 7970's, and when you can find one it won't be the same price as a 580GTX. Nvidia won't lower prices on high end cards unless it's to clear inventory but that probably won't happen until April.
