If this happens(and it is a big if), NV will be able to charge as much as they want for the gtx 380.
I think you are being wildly optimistic here. For this to happen, Nvidia has to best their current single GPU performance by at least 3X.

I also don't think the 5870 is really stretching its legs yet with current games. Looking at the various reviews, yea it's easy to be a bit underwhelmed, but I don't think we have seen exactly what a 5870 is really capable of. Kinda reminds me of the first 9700 reviews. Performance was great, but not astounding compared to previous gen stuff in many games.
