I don't know about that. I'd rather wait and see what each one comes up with. It's the second generation of DX10 cards to come out, but Nvidia does have something like what, a 1-year head start on DX10?
This has given Nvidia 12 months to refine their designs while ATI is still playing catch-up, because at the end of the day the 2900s are still playing second fiddle - and are also loud.
Surprises do happen, though. Surely you remember the Geforce 5X00 series that were stupid loud - that was around the time the 9600 was trouncing the Geforce series, so until both companies play their cards I am holding off on my GPU purchase.
Nvidia does look like they will have a killer card coming out though, but I got the crossfire mainboard when the Intel chipset was considered superior to the Nvidia offering. Either ATI comes out with something that really challenges the 8800 series, or that mobo is going into my HTPC and it's off to the computer mall to get an SLI mobo.
