great roundup. I like the look of the XFX card, especially with a free assassins creed. good deal.

Can't believe how uncompetitive the ATI parts are right now.

yeah not sure when they are going to have something up their sleeve but right now its a one horse race. Have you seen Nvidias financial report for the quarter? well over a billion. probably as much as AMD are worth now

Great roundup V3, I liked the scaling page, very helpful

Ya I agree with LukeK it's a 1 horse race, but lets hope ATI will dig themselves out of this hole soon.
Its a really insightful review that really is making me think of what my next card should be, right now am favoring the XFX 9600 GT XXX; but the Gainward 8800 GTS Golden Sample (Goes Like Hell) is also a pretty good choice.
