It'd definitely stir things up considering we haven't seen that happen since the x1950xtx... I don't think we will this time though, considering a big reason for those differences in performance numbers between the 580 and 7970 in that slide is that 1.5gb isn't enough for high aa at 2560 and damn well not enough for 3+ screens with AA, and the 580 isn't going to be what AMD are up against.
That, I'm waiting in anticipation for this show-down between both camps new cards. GPU cycles (not refreshes, but the initial releases) are my favorite time of the hardware year.
