That's up to you. I think the difference now is tiny. Congrats to ATi.

I just did a compare on the images are they are exactly the same. so image quality in 3dmark06 is pixel for pixel the same.

The same settings in 3dmark06. The NV was set to application control with no optimizations. So as near as possible.

Then i think you should compare them again. How pictures with different file size and visible differences can be the same pixel for pixel escapes me.

Pre-orders for the 2900XT are only 20 euro above that of the 8800 GTS 640 MB here.

The me the 2900 wins. The very slight blur in the lines on the balloon is acceptable, the overall jaggie-removal is better, but what really sets it apart from the nVidia is that the nVidia totally screws up on the front-end of the balloon where the spike is sticking out. AntiAliasing should never remove lines.
