You mean $599? You realize the cheapest GTX480 is $459?
14% more shaders + 10% higher clocks speeds should be able to beat a 5970 as the current lead is 10 % over SLI gtx 460's.

If NV did charge 499 and kept at this price, NV would gain a long term customer from me because it would appear their pricing would be super fair honestly compared to AMD as of late which has been raping the customer.
