I am interested in how the 2900 XT will perform with the latest drivers, but it is still rather expensive for its performance. I also don't think the drivers will get better for it overnight. The 8800s are starting to make some good progress with drivers with 158+ and it's taken them so long to get this far. You go back to some of the older drivers in February and you lose over 300 3dmarks and you start to notice some games don't perform as well (I went back to an older driver because there's unfortunately a bug with one of my games with the latest drivers). Not to mention the price dropped off significantly for the 8800 GTS. I got mine for a steal.
