The 570 is better overall, the specs are similar to a 480 but it has better efficency, so better power consumptom and temps with similar performance for a cheaper price. There is also the GTX 470 which is under the $450 range, though it's performance is less then a 570 and is also less efficient overall.

GTX 570, very close in performance but much more efficient and cheaper!

Yup, I agree. That's coming from someone who owns GTX 480.

Not to mention the new vapor chamber GPU cooler. The 570 even outperforms the 580 with a modest OC and still remains within viable temps.

There's really no reason to get a 480 at this point.
