comparing one OC'd card to a non OC'd card is like comparing a stock civic to one with all the bells and whistles. the 6970 is worse, but not $150 worse imo.
TastyTaste:
6970 Lightning IS oc'd but only has 2-3 fps more than stock. I would say this is a plus because AMD makes a better product right out of the box. Nvidia makes you "work" for their price to performance cost ratio. But lucky for nvidia, i dont mind oc'ing. Works out to be better for my tastes.

both are factory OC'd, but your comparing OCing the 580 even more.

Which i have the option for, you cant do that with the already oc'd 6970 unless you do some crazy voltage tweaking or ln2. ...i can get to 900 on the core without voltage tweaks
