Get the 6970.

Dual GPU cards like the 6870X2 are energy hogs, generate lots of heat and noise and overall the performance would lag slightly behind the 6970 anyway.
Here's a review of the 6870X2 from awhile back. Looks like at 1920x1080 with 4XAA the Radeon 6870X2 beat the GeForce GTX 480 by 6fps.

Referencing back to the first chart, the 6870X2 would be on par with a Radeon HD 6950, maybe a bit better. Anyway, I'd go with the newer generation hardware if the results are close and in this case, the 6970 seems to have a slight lead.
