The headline says it all: ATI Radeon HD 2900 XTX, Doomed from the Start |
Well, this is not the full story. If you read down below, you would have picked up why the 8800 GTX is as far ahead as it shows in the story. To me, to compare them like this is really bad!

I am really surprised with how crappy the performance is for the XTX....This seems really odd as the XT beat the GTS right? Also I noticed the clocks for the 8800GTX are higher then the 575/900mhz clocks of the original. Are you using an OCed 8800?

I seriously question Anandtechs bench marking ethics. Either do Stock to Stock OR Best over clocked to Best over clocked. This Stock to Overclocked is crap. The only time that Stock to Overclocked is legit is when you are comparing the same make an model to set up a metric for how the part scales with speed.
Anandtech is becoming or perhaps has become another THG.

Last but not least, this is a reference beta driver test and you can see things like up to 25% gain for using release drivers. If you overclock this thing, even 10% and add up to 25% for drivers, you are way beyond an 8800 GTX.
All and all, time will tell. Right now, AMD/ATI have bigger problems - $5.8 billion in debt. Not sure what they are going to do for the debt problem.
