I don't see the logic in his statement. Wait, let's see, he tests using and AMD Eyefinity6 2GB card which he never really even uses the 6 screen output and the extra 1GB is most likely giving a 1% or 2% better framerate(if at all in some games) and then compares it to the $499.00 GTX580.

Um, hello, why compare a niche E6 5870 when its not needed. I know why, so he can say the GTX580 and E6 5870 are evenly price matched.

He should have used a regular HD5870 which can be had for $300 ~ $320.

And he leaves out the 5970 in which he claims was just recently found for $499.00 but was somehow $660.00($160 MORE) just a week ago or so when he was testing the cards. Sounds like BS to me.

So basically what he was doing was testing a $320 card to a $499.00 and claiming they were evenly price matched. Sorry Brent, you lose!
Ironically, I can tell you that AMD has been sending out emails to reviewers talking about the new HD 5970 price @ ~$499 since last week. I am SURE HardOCP got those emails....plus, Newegg dropped their HD 5970 price mid last week.
