It does seem that the gtx480 will do very well at extreme settings compared to the hd5870, but in real world scenarios (i.e. what normal gamers play at - 1680x1050 - 1980x1200) it won't be much better than a hd5870, and sometimes it even performs worse.
So it looks like if you own an uber resolution monitor, the gtx480 would be the way to go! However, the hd5970 is still the undisputed champ, as we all expected. Also, let's face it, with the price inflation with these cards, the hd5970 will be around the same price too, so i do feel the gtx480 is a fail. The gtx470 may have more of a hope, but it's likely to trade blows with the hd5850 and be left in the dust by the hd5870 (judging by it being around 10-15% slower than a gtx480).
I know fudzilla isn't the best site, but it is still interesting to read, since it seems like it could be very much true.
