The only one I saw that put 2x 5970s against 2x GTX480 was ixbt. GTX480 SLI loses:

It'd be nice if more reviews included 480 SLI and 5970 CF results, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

According to the graphs, they are close. But what they are measuring is average FPS, which isn't so important. GTX 480 SLI should deliver much smoother gaming experience due to more stable frame rate.

Further, when better nVidia drivers arrive we can expect 2x480GTX to outperform 5970 CF in min and average FPS, as well as in smoothness.
