Conclusion:
The BFG 8800 GTX Video Card obviously has
the clear advantage in all tests, which is really no
surprise. After all, it's about $400 more than the 2900XT
Video Card. In some of the high resolution tests the 2900XT
did score very well though.
There's not a lot of
games that are currently on the market that can challenge
the 8800 GTX Video Card. So if speed is what you are after
and you have the bucks, the 8800 GTX Video Card is the one
to go for. If however you wish to save a few bucks go for the 2900XT Video Card. Of course
the other option is to get two 2900XT Video Cards using a CrossFire capable motherboard. A 2900XT CrossFire setup will
meet and in some cases outperform a single 8800 GTX Video
Card. If you are
considering building a new HTPC, I would stick with ATI
based Video Card products. They are much better suited for multimedia
applications with better HDMI support and compatible with
more high
definition formats.
