well then that says it all...
it will NOT beat a 5970 and it will probably be as fast as a 295 which costs the same right now, maybe itll be a little faster...

so people can now get 295 performance with a single gpu...
i doubt people on a 295 will upgrade to this... they will probably wait for the dual fermi card. people who get a fermi 480 are probably on a 8800gtx 8800ultra 9800gtx 250 260 275 280 or 285 right now... or they are on a 5850 or 5870...
