Glad to see you are all being objective and not a bunch of fanboys. Testing clearly shows x2 beats the 8800. 8800 is an older card and im guessing the next card that comes out from nvidia will beat the crap out of x2, but then again ATI will release something even more monstrous that will beat the 9xxx series of nvidia. Its just how things work, no need to bash and flame couse of that. Both company's offer great GPUs and thats a fact, both will release GPUs that will be top notch cards for few months.
