The 5970 is only "holding its own" against the GTX470? Which benchmarks are you reading?
Until the 6900 series launches, the 570 and 580 can compete with Xfired 6850's and 6870's respectively.
Please don't take my posts to mean I think the new 500 series is crap. Far from it. I think they are great cards and offer a lot of performance improvements on the 400 series. No single gpu card comes close at the moment. I just get tired of the "Let's Suggest Sainthood for Nvidia" attitude.
Well the 5970 blows, x-fired 5970's are even worse. and I don't compare xfire crap to a single card, unless they have more then one crossfire connector, you have no upgrade path. 6850/6870
How about the gtx470 in sli for under 400$ vs the 6850's in crossfire? Better?
