Plenty of people are interested in single GPU vs single GPU. The 5970 is also ~$200 more than the 480, and a 5990? Come on, it's just an overclocked 5970 to 5870 speed, and it will likely be extremely expensive, probably $300 more than the 480.

Not to mention, using your logic, since the 5970 already beats it, what's the point?
