Remember they are using a new architecture on this card, so u cant compare the transistor count as a simple % increase... i'm sure their next cards (i.e. HD8000 series) will be a small revision of the HD7000 and will have another performance bump.
I have an HD7970, it scores P8380 in 3dmark11 standard benchmark, which I believe is 15% better than GTX580 and the GTX580 is another 10% or so better than HD6970. I won't be surprised is nVidia new cards are 5-10% faster than HD7970 and cost $100 more.
