nVidia blew ATI away even more in terms of Doom3 and HL2, so personally I think it's worth the extra 271 bucks.
that's bvllshit in terms of half-life 2. ati blew away nvidia on half-life 2 and almost every other game besides doom 3. needless to say, the real world difference between the video cards in performance are pretty much negligable, save a few frames or so.
its pretty stupid to compare 2 6800 gt's in sli to an x800 xt. why not compare dual x800 xt's against a single 6800 gt?
anyways, ati has a plan to do sli or something similar to sli (their own name for it), to compete with nvidia. they were against it before, but since so many people are willing to run sli or want to upgradable path of sli in the future, it's a pretty decent chance for profit.
even in this argument, i'm not biased towards video cards at all. i just like the better performing one.
my only realy bias is probably amd, but that can easily change once intel starts to sell cpu's for cheap and ones that perform superior, but that's by a long shot.
