I don't know about you, but it looks to me like 6970 CF gives the GTX 580 SLI a run for the money:
Remember the price: 6970: $369 USD, GTX 580: $519 USD
Stalker:
580 is 6.7% faster than 6970, but somehow 6970 CF is 7.2% faster than 580 SLI.
BF:BC2:
580 is 19.9% faster than 6970, but 580 SLI is only 1.7% faster than 6970 CF, 6900's CF scaling is really that good

ATi's high end card in SLi competes with NVIDIA's last generation high end in SLi, not bad!
Still, holy **** 580 GTX in SLi, 108FPS in BC2 with 8xAA, 16x AF, DX11, maxed out, high res? That is nuts to.
Cards are advancing so fast this days.
Seems they're about even with NVIDIA scaling according to the BC2 Benchmark, so not bad.
So 600$ for a little less performance as 1000$(2x GTX580's) 400$ less, for about 13-14FPS less. Reasonable, for sure.
For the price of a single 580 you could Crossfire two of these babies.
Good going ATi.
