The 8800GTX was out in November 06! That is a long time to still be king! In July 06 there was no such thing as Core 2 Duo!

Ati drivers are pretty good. The main problem for me is that they are only really released once/month, so if you have a problem you will probably have to wait at least until the next months driver, and if that doesn't fix it then it can be a real pain. But they do often have a lot of nice performance improvements, which is always good.

Moreover, turning AA on in demanding game like Crysis would produce unplayable fps. So, there is not point in turning AA in Crysis
Once agian only 8.5 drivers with 8.6 the Ati wins all except Crysis
of course Crysis is going to get more FPS with nvidia cards thats beacuase its more Nvidia GPU bound. now take a game like bioshock

bahhh, so picky lol I guess I just didn't hear about it till december. so that means the GTX has been out for a year and 8 months.

It's too bad nvidia didn't spend us much time and money on the GTX2 series as they did on the 8 series.

Why does AMD need to answer? The 4850 can beat the 260 in several situations, namely from ones in which Nvidia didn't pay the developer. For the ones in which Nvidia did fork over money to nerf the game under the guise of TWIMTBP, ATI is screwed anyway.
