But you are missing the point, I don't trust this source. I have a few I do trust to some extent, techreport, beyond3d, or behardware. Those sites are the best. Just go read one of their GPU reviews.
Anyways, if an overclocked x2900 can't hold a candle to the 8800gtx, I ain't wasting my money. Sure I know the hardware is more impressive in red land, but I am really not looking for a fancy architecture that gets destroyed by a far more inferior and basic design. Nvidia's moto has always been raw power over design, and they have pushed through. Of course they are always bound to get into trouble as hardware matures, but it pays their bills and more. We have already seen 3 generations of this.

But mind you, if the new driver offers 15% performance, judging from these benches it will still be on par with the GTS in quite a few benches, so that's not really too great either.
Yea, IQ part is nice, 8800 IQ is very nice already, so IMO that's quite a feat!
I'm interested how the official reviews will be on Crossfire, and Vista drivers.
