The 8800 isnt any older than the r600. It just took AMD longer to release their cards because of poor fabrication results. Nvidia just got the card out on time. Tesselation is not supported in crysis and afaik there are no killer games coming out in the next 18 months that support it. DX10 engines of any note are Unreal3.0 and Crysis, both being TWIMTBP titles. The 2900 is however a better buy than the gts, that is without question. Its just a shame AMD cannot build a rival to the gtx and ultra.

Good spec aka, but hold on for the quadcore. Source, U3 and crysis will benefit immensly.
