Furthermore the 8800 GT SLI gives it a pretty good stomping $500. AMD needs all the good press they can get but $450 seems a bit much when comparing it to the 8800GT $250 without a large towering lead.

I would hope that ATI can keep up their lead over nvidia with this (or another) series of card, but that doesn't seem likely with their comparative lack of market share Reply

It's good to see an honest company making some headway in the market. I've never had a problem with any ATI card I've owned, but every single nvidia one has had some horrible design flaw leading to it's horrible, crippling failure, usually through overheating. Not only is it less powerful and less value for money, but nvidia is really stingy about replacement of defects, not to mention they don't have one reliable third party manufacturer, in the face of ATI's 2 really good ones (Sapphire and HIS). Anyone who would rather an nvidia 8800 is out of their mind. I've heard of only one really bad X2 horror story, which was a DOA, and ATI happily replaced the defective card. This card seems to check out pretty nicely, and I haven't heard of many problems as yet. I look forward to getting two of these babies and setting them up for crossfire mode. More power for the simple expedient of more GPUs.
