Not THAT much of a ripoff....  I'm sure you'll be able to find a shop that's less than 1000 euros and also ships to Europe.

EDIT: For example, that shop PSPKiller uses...

540GBP = 640euros.  Not 550, but still a whole crapload better than 1000.

Prices in Australia seem to be about $840AUD for 5970.  That's about 600 euros.

yes but a dual core does't excist,. that lower bar is 2x 480gtx card,. there prob will be a difference in power consumption,. also if nvidia would make a dual core 480gtx,. they prob will adress this,.

Single GTX480 already consumes more than the 5970...

I wander if this fits all brands,.>? because on the asus card i read there is a 50% power saver,. or is it just the gpu>?

anyway,. also not sure if CUDA and or other nvidia gpu feature's are suported on a ati,..

I had prob buy a 480gtx anyway,. i don't think i need any faster clock speeds/performance playing Crysis 2,. or PS,. i had go for an extra DDR3,. now i have x64,. :)

Depends on if you have a use for CUDA.  There isn't really a lot of programs which use it.  Same with PhysX (the games that use it don't really implement much of it).

Thing is, most companies are unwilling to restrict themselves to a single GPU vendor, so this is unlikely to change unless ATI supports CUDA/PhysX.

That's where OpenCL comes in.  It still has some way to go though.
