All reviewers have showed that 8800GTX can completely destroy X2900XT, and even 8800GTS can beat X2900XT in some cases

well u got to remember, the current driver out right now is what they r using for the HD 2900 XT, which may cut back on it's real full potential, just wait for better drivers to come out, then the real benchmarks can begin, it's only a sample.

More benchmarks
HD2900XT vs 8800GTS vs 8800GT
Just look at the average FPS    
So, 2900XT can't even beat its 6 month old rival 8800GTS [H] Enthusiast - ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT
