    Actually the 8800 Ultra is faster than the GT :)

    This list is wrong. :\ The 8800GT is NOT the best video card from NVIDIA at the moment. That honor belongs to the 9800GX2 > 8800 Ultra > 8800 GTX/8800 GTS (New) > 8800 GT.

    You're also missing the 3600, the 3400, etc.

    9800GX2 isn't not out yet... so the Ultra still holds the crown...

    At the bottom where you state "Best of the Best" for ATI, it should read 3870X2 instead of 3870. All the Nvidia 8800GT cards will outperform the 3870, but not the 3870 dual GPU (X2).

    UPDATE: I think it would just appropriate to call the 3870X2 best of ATI. Their are varying views about its performance as compared to Nvidia's top of the line, the 8800 Ultra.

    Nvidia & ATI/AMD Graphics Card Guide
    Recommend a title change, as it appears this thread is geared towards gaming cards. Otherwise, you would want to include Nvidia Quadro series, ATI Fire GL series, and Matrox professional workstation cards.

    Major Update / Overhaul... time for some of us to cry a bit :)

    Side note... I'll be readjusting the order based on the current top 10 PC games on the market... making a ton of High end cards get pushed to Mid/High end...

    I heard a story once about a pot, a kettle, and the color black, if I remember correctly. :D

    And never was it told in the setting of a video card thread in a gaming forum. ;)

    Hmm, yes, you are right. I didn't even know we had a separate graphics sub-forum inside gaming....

    Thanks for this Gnome, I always wondered what the scale of cards for ATi was, nVidia is the only thing I'm familiar with

    Quick Q! What exactly does the 7950 Gt OC KO supperclocked card from EVGA equal to in the 8000 series, Closest I can find is the 8800gs

    Actually, it's the 8800GTX u-Vex Rev. 2.3 Super Duper Deluxe Neutrino. Skyhook brand is .003% faster and only $50 more.

    7950 GT OC KO might get to the original 8800 GTS 320MB

    Unless it's going under a different name, I do not see a 1950Pro on the list.

    I see the XTX, there is no 1950Pro there. Hell, no 1950GT or 1950XT, either.
