Well I guess because its a "TWIMTBP" game...... I'd wait for the game to actually come out and be benched before being confident in saying that though....

There's no gripes with the 8800 GTS honestly, the HD 2900 XT has awesome potential to just trump the 8800 gts given the proper drivers but at the moment it seems to be troubled in that department. And yes, they are faster than the 7950GX2. 

another question ( no need for new topic)

is this enough PSU(520W from OCZ) power for this rig ?

AMD X2 4200

2gigs of ram

X2900XT 512MB

A8N-SLI Deluxe

thanks

should be ok.. i think its pushin it a bit... the 600-700 is fine for that, or the corsair 620hx and 520hx with their beefier amperage in the 12 volt rail.

wel, im not really planning on getting a new PSU since this is a expensive one

so, as a final verdict, what should I do ?

wait and give the X2900XT a change too get better scores with new drivers ?

or option  2

get a 8800GTS 640MB now

thanks

Get a 8800GTS 640MB now.

You will get clear game screens  than X2900XT

I know it soudns strange, but the X2900XT is cheaper in holland then the 8800GTS 640

and as you can see, the new drivers a making the card alot faster:

so, im leaning towards the X2900XT now, but I will wait pantiantly and make my descision in 1 or 2 months

but thanks for the  information anyway

8800GTS, it's cheaper, it's green, and it's not AMD. Also the X2900 uses more power than Al Gore's mansion.Staryoshi87

I agree.

Mainly its not AMD

if you mean opposite, you are actually right 

No I mean like that.

Not the opposite

If you don't mind the power consumption, I want to say go for the HD2900XT. Since you said it's cheaper in Holland.

depending on the RES you want to use you can get a 8800GTS 320MB, that is cheaper, but is only as good as the 640MB one with the RES lower than 1440 (max 1600x1200)

He's my hero! I like your old user icon better, J.

how much more power does the 2900 consume compared to the gts?duelen

around ~70 watts more.

If you dont mind more power consumption and having a bit noisy card go for the HD

(Check the guru3d review, its pretty extensive and should give you every detail)

Oh and i forgot to mention that it goes all the way up to 90 C when playing...which is insane xD
So good luck and i hope they fix those temperature issues with better drivers or something

And if i were you i would go for the GTS... just because ive had bad experiences with ATI cards but maybe its just my luck

Ok so tell me how you know the 8800gts will be better for crysis. No one knows. Stop pretending you do.

On the topic i would say that ati option is better once they have soughted their drivers out. On the games where the have optermized AA then the ati card beats the 8800gts 640 by a fair amount. In games with no AA the story is the same. However some games have not been optermized properly yet with AA and so the 8800gts performs better (in these cases even the x1950xtx out performs it)

 To conclude if you can wait for better drivers the ati card ought to be better. Although it does run hot.
