Yes, we can say the 6970 is a little dissapointing, but we also need to look at what we are comparing here.

In Norway (looking at komplett.no webshop):
- the cheapest 580 is 4039 nkr
- the cheapest 6970 is 2995 nkr

So the 580 is about 30% more expensive then the 6970. Amd is better at something and nVidia is better at something. But it is not valid to call the 6970 a dissapointment because it dont totallty stomp a card that is 30% more expensive. This is in fact a BIG price difference!
