I normally use tomshardware.com for benchies but they haven't got the new nvidias on there yet. As you can see, the 8800GTS wallops them all!
yer, theres not to much in 8600 and the 1950XT performance wise ati might just have the edge in games and ati IMO always have better drivers availabvle, plus from what i can see the ati is around £30-50 cheaper
the 8800GTS does beat most things just not the new ati
