sure the downside of nvidia is that only 8800 series has hdr+aa but still id prefer nvidia any time over ati cuz even though ati has hdr+aa, its slow man
For sure dude. nVidia is always my first choice too because of the reason of less poer hungry.
Although ATi cards are behemoths but they actually perform better.
U can sse the comparision of 8800 GTS (640MB) and HD2900XT(512MB).
The 2900 XT eats up almost every thing but the card is a monster.
Just for a note:
THe X1900 XTX eats almost double the power compared to 7900 GTX but it also performs better than 7900 GTX.
Also in this case i 'de say that 7900 GTX will be a better choice because the performance difference is not that much as compared to power consumption.
The same story is with the 8800 & 2900.
U will hardly notice people with X-fire setups since 95% people(including me) prefers SLI setups.
