    Probably not but no one really knows yet..we still need a decent reference point to benchmark them and some decent drivers.

    A lot of the benchmarks you see are done with full 4x AA, which degrades 2900xt performance more so than on the 8800s I believe. The 2900xt is focused on Shader-based anti-aliasing which will be the only to work with the upcoming games using HDR lighting (as far as I know, please correct me if anything I say is untrue ).

    So I think in games such as Crysis we will really see the 2900xt shine, if it is going to shine anywhere especially.
