Thats not true. The 3870 beats the 8800 ultra in COD4, Crisis, UT3, in FPS, with and without filtering and AA. Also there is far less power consumption, and the possibility of running four of these bad boys, not three... Idk why Nvidia would go with a three slot PCI-e 2.0 design.. Its 300$ cheaper than the 8800ultra OC edition, and faster in test results... Oh, I forgot, you can go beyond 1080pi, and you can plug a HDTV right into the card itself. This card is better is every aspect. Nvidia fans are just going to have to wait for the overpriced 9000chipset.
Oh yeah, last edit here... lol, the 3870 reached a benchmark in videocard history... 1TF of GPU power... Sorry...
