The 1gb version is not only more powerfull but uses less power and runs cooler aswell, as it is a slighlty different version of the Fermi chip.

Also I expect the price's of the 480's and 470's to drop when the rest of the 5 series come along, as you can get a GTX 580 now for £400 which is cheaper than some of the GTX 480's.

Also as for performance if they ever wanted to and had a sli board then 2 GTX 460's 1gb in sli perform far better than a single GTX 480 aswell, and cost around the same price.
