i am not thick marianox1 i know the cards are in the same price range--but like i said in the killer games the 8800 beat the ati's easy and you are bang on with your synopsis of me and gfx cards especialy if that few extra frames make a big difference----crysis--wic oh and like i said where are the 8800gt sli RESULTS?

and one more thing about the review id hardly call THE ORANGE BOX a graphical heavy hitter

who cares---in all the important games---W.I.C-CRYSIS-C.O.H---THE 8800'S RULE why is it that ATI has not released 1 decent card this generation? all they have done is fill in the price gaps in the market nvidia have lead the way in dx10 and if your gonna test gfx cards against each other gamespot atleast make it fair---crossfire? but no sli? thats a little strange unless of course nvidia's sli numbers put ati's to shame

thnx----- xGoHawks i even got Lionheart199020's msg deleted and yes sallybally i have played this on a gx2 1280x1024 mixture of med-high settings

well considering how many units of 8800 gpu's have sold in the last 2 months you must be the only sane pc gamer on the planet and the only reason you play at 1024x768 is because you are not a fifteen yr old over privaleged spoiled child?--------------WTF DO YOU LIVE ON EARTH? I THINK YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS IF WE FOLLOW TO HEART WHAT YOU JUST SAID--THEN IT WILL NEVER BE WORTH BUYING A GFX CARD WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE CALLING PEOPLE RETARDS? THE ONLY RETARDED THING I HAVE READ ON HERE, IS YOUR ANTI-8800 POST WITH YOUR OOHH LOOK HOW BIG MY LITTLE GFX CARD IS AND YOUR PATHETIC 1024x768 RESOLUTION,DITCHED THAT RESOLUTION YEARS AGO, SO DID MOST PEOPLE WITH VERY VERY CHEAP 17inch MONITORS NOT 30inch LCD'S

yeah Lionheart199020 your X1950Pro is like a mingey 3 legged mongrell that is well past its sell by date,1024x768 now thats something to laugh about

and dont buy ANY ATI gfx card all they can do is look for price points NVIDIA hasnt filled and are releasing rubbish gfx cards to fill those price gaps ati rv600+670= POOPOO nvidia g81+90=very good VERY VERY GOOD

you wont get hardly any fps no matter how many ATI cards you install as they are rubbish

coz games developers are privvy to technologies that home users cannot afford--eg huge workstations---look kd just go to their website and ask them

no kd_kash i think you will find that the 8800s were used for the development of the current crop of dx10 titles also huge dx9 servers running dx10 api emulation were used before that
