AMD could have a year head start on drivers and in my mind they would still be worse. I have had bad luck the past year with my AMD drivers, never once had problems with Nvidia drivers. As for hardware, I can wait :P

but GTX580 SLI is faster, cooler, quiter, and a bit more efficient for the same price you spent on the 2 GTX480s.
