You got it all wrong...

The 6970 was not meant to fight the with 580, the 6990 is.

The rest of your conclusions are wrong too, if you started out with a wrong assumption.

And in case nobody noticed, there already where 2GB versions of a 5870 sold, with a quite big price gap and somehow nobody complained.
