The real question imo is whether the 3870 is faster than the 8800 gt. Anyone have any opinions on this? I've had a look at a few charts and they seem quite similar in performance.
i think the HD2900XT is faster cause it leaves alot more room for serious overclocking but i think that mite only be plausible in really high end overclocking rigs (elaborate watercooling for instance) thats why it holds the top places in the 3dmark 06 hall of fame.
but its also really big and requires a lot of juice to ru
if ur just thinking about running on a simple air cooled rig with maybe just an intake and an outtake fan u can probly just buy the 8800 GT
