In short, ATI's new card sort of, you know, got trumped by Nvidea. For the record, anyone saying that the Nvidea card sucks compared to ATI for whatever reason, wont be paid attention to, as I'm gone for 2 weeks. Cya then

Poor review - drivers aren't properly out for the card yet. Hell, even MY card alone beats that card at 1280x1024 in all the games they tested. They didn't even test with FSAA or AF.
Not to mention that they're optimised for DX10. Also, the 12.5" card is intended for MAC's only, not to be released retail, and no-one has ANY clue what the 9.5" one performs like, because no-one has one.
This card was intended for multi-media work, hence the GDDR4 1GB of memory (which is noticably slower than GDDR3). The XTX was never going to beat the 8800, the XT was intended to do that (hence why early versions walked all over the GTS version, and almost pulled it in line with the GTX without any real drives).
Poor review, nothing is explained. Might just be a marketing ploy to get hits (And it seems to have worked, look at the replies).
