Well it looks as if most of the larger increases are just in Crossfire configurations - but it still looks like a pretty good speed boost for the ATI cards across the range.

According to HardOCP shows that the 2900XT comes very close with the 8800GTX. This is of course with the 7.10 driver:

Well of course half life is ATI favored...

I tested with a X1900XT. they promise a quake wars speed boost....there was not difference...and a slight decrease in 3Dmarks and Counter Strike source(nothing you would notice, but no improvements either)
HL2 was the same

 

On the plus side DX 10 for the 2000's is coming along nicely....

I have only owned one ATI product but I still have to agree better late than never.
