Im praying for a price war. well only if the ultra is included. If I can grab a decent buy on another one i'll be happy till the 9 series is released. Maybe a while after XD
That is not the point though, ATI is still very much so in the game. They're the first to 55nm and they are DX10+, and the prices are supposed to be great.
HD3800 is just like HD2900 with 55nm die shrink, and 256 BIT memory interface (instead of 512BIT memory interface used in HD2900)
8800GT outperforms HD2900XT, and from the specs it seems that HD3800 is not that better than HD2900. So, I don't think that HD3800 is going to be better than 8800GT and the new G92 based 8800GTS
Please wait for benhmarks before you make some prejudges
