i have had both a hd2900 pro flashed to XT AND an 8800gt and there is very...i mean like VERY little difference in performance. but big difference in power consumption and NOISE, lol.
so, if the 3870 is almost as fast as an XT, it would be the better price/performance option. it is supposed to be quiet, and as invisible says...it isnt nearly the power hog of a 2900.
plus, the gouging going on with the 8800gt is kind of sickening....even though i got it stuck to me REAL good for mine, heh.
