For you guys so frustrated about ati's performance recently, welcome to the club.
Though i find it "late" more than "sucks", like the 2900pro was a very good choice before the release of the 8800GT 512MB & the HD 3870, also the 2600XT wasn't that bad for HTPCs or the x1950 pro 256MB still doing OK within the 120$-140$ price range. Taking into consideration price/performance ratio, ati didn't suck .. it was just .. too late or targeting a market that isn't there. (Like the 2600 series for HTPCs) >> i keep recommending this for HTPCs till this moment, simply put, best performer for under 150$.
8800GT should be anyone's choice who doesn't care much about 30$-50$ dollars price difference, but the fact remains that the HD 3870 for lower resolutions than 1680x1050 for 30$-50$ less than Nvidia's 8800GT with less noise production, remains a decent choice.
