Oddly enough I think I'm going to go with the 3870 myself but it won't be for a month or two. I'll revisit the issue then to see where the prices stand since I'd rather stay "green" than go back to "red" simply because I like the warranty that's available on XFX cards.

At least it's a competition with festive colors.

Flash the BIOS and take it to 900MHZ, 8800 GT will cry. Plus its cheaper, scales better, etc.

Bestbuy.com had the 3870 for $214.99 and the 8800GT for $237.99.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1194053242087
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1190678470708

I was originally going to get a 3870 when the cheapest 8800GT was $270+ but now its a tough decision.
