I, for one, am very pleased that this card keeps pace with the GTX 580
and more importantly kicks the snot out of the GTX 570 as it is priced just over the cost of a 570. So what that it isn't the 580-killer! So what that it's not a night-and-day curbstomp over Nvidia! I am pleased that AMD is keeping Nvidia in check, especially considering the feature set and the fact that the 580 is essentially what the 480
should have been in the first place.
I'm definitely going to be selling my 8800 GTS 512 and hop on board the 6970 train. At 1680x1050 this card will more than sate my need for performance and even when I move up to a larger monitor, I'll be set there as well. Thanks for the quick review guys! I was up past midnight and happened to read the conclusions page before I made it to bed. Definitely glad I waited before picking up a GTX 570.
