Since it's not just ASUS who is going to release similar monster cards, it makes me think that dual Fermi is coming, sooner or later. It will be just as hot, huge, power hungry and expensive.
That's what this card is supposed to compete with.
The question should be - Why would NOT they release such video card? Since when, manufacturer are making cards, that should compete with another, that come from vendor? This is just silly observation. If there is going to be another card from ATi, it will come from them, not from anybody else.
