We live in the present Aka, only the current benchmarks are interesting. You are about to spend several hundreds of dollars on single a piece of hardware for graphics and some type of preference based on older types in a market that changes faster then I do with underwear you might wanna be objective and get the best bang for your buck.
The performance of the current drivers for ati don't look like they are the best yet, but if you put them in line with the state that the 8800 was in back in the day the 2900 owns for sure. As cameraman said the 8800 took half a year to get this far and now you are looking at a card with hardly any more performance increase that's 6 months old. Kinda like buying a new car with a 10 year old engine.
