The thing is, im pretty sure they are about to get alot cheaper.
I don't really think so. If that's the GTX 380 and it is an average 20% faster than the 5870, it will be priced above the 5870 and close but below the 5970. Right now, AMD must like having a higher profit margin, so if Nvidia keeps prices high, AMD can stay the same...

Remember, if AMD knew that RV770 was going to be so competitive against GT200, they would have priced MSRP much higher. A 4870 at $399 and a 4850 at $299 might have been the debut price had they known that the GT200 was not as much of a beast as people predicted

Not really... if the dual GPU part and the single GPU part are in the same power and TDP range, and price as well, the comparison is valid... it's a single board sucking up the same power and heat vs. a single board doing the same
