Not really. The G80 was a single gpu and the 5970 isn't. Not really a fair comparison.

But in terms of the 5870, it is true to an extent. 6 months with no competition and we'll wait and see with Fermi if it continues that way. At any case i still think a 1GHz core with 5870 should be close to the 480. Great card esp with the features.
