I had my mind all set on the 8800GTX due to its massive performance and supposedly better IQ but then I come across statements like above and it puts me into a panic to spend the money on the card just in case. I would hate to spend the money on the GTX and have choppy, erratic, non smooth gameplay especially since I have been nothing but a pro ATI guy since the 9800 pro. This really is killing me. If the GTX being as powerful as it is isn't at least as smooth as my current X1900XTX I would just cry with buyers remorse. Someone kill me.

I hate to say it, but even after buyingthese cards, I am unsure myself whther this purchase was the right one or not.

I want to support the underdog, namely AMD. they need the help ATM...and the industry needs competition. The 2900XT is attractively priced, but I have a hard time saying it's a good buy.

I also jsutified my purchase due ot the "valve coupons" inside, as I would have bought the games irregardless, and now i don't have to.

So, keep your money in your pocket for a couple more weeks yet.
