Bear in mind my results are with an overclocked HD 2900 XT 1 GB too, since i initally thought that's the speed it was supposed to be running at.
It turns out all of them are 743/2000 though, aside from some select factory OCed ones.

Another review from FS.

In short, the 8800 GTX is the better card in performance terms.
With regards to driver stability/issues in Vista at least, HD 2900 XT 1 GB is the better card.

well if the drivers are unstable, how can they even be playing games? like.. they'll work half the time?
