Specifically, the 2GB 5870 card performed better than the GTX 480 at the higher resolution of 25x16 where the extra memory helps out, but at the lower resolution of 19x12 the ATI card loses every time. The moral of the story thereby holds true for me: a single GPU card with 2gb of memory is superior in performance to a single GPU with less memory only at the higher 25x16 resolution. But it's a moot point for me. I can't afford an LCD monitor that runs at that resolution, and I suspect most people here on these forums don't play at that resolution either. Now open up the bus on that ATI 5870 2gb card to that of the GTX 480 and you'd probably have a real monster able to devour the Nvidia card at all resolutions, imo.
