You are mistaking, totally. The high-end is all about the performance-crown. Price to performance applies to mainstream, and 560 has already secured this segment for nVidia.

If AMD can't take the performance-crown against 2x560 or 2x570, (or 2x580 according to this unbelievable rumors) then they better don't resale the 6990. Because #2 doesn't count and doesn't sell in high-end.

Based on this logic, I personally think this 2x580 is probably just some fake rumors to scare and discourage AMD from releasing the 6990.
