The Asus EAH3870 TOP does seem to offer more performance than a HD 2900 XT. For the a price somewhere on the high side of $200, that's pretty good. But unforunately, most eyes on this chart will probably be drawn to the fact that it the 8800 GT seems to offer a bit higher framerates at 1600x1200, with AA on, for the around the same price of this card. The difference isn't huge -- but it's there.
