Ati Sux Geforce Rocks!
well, i dont even know what the clocks and spec are.
Going by your sig... I have to say that ATI is now part of AMD.
And ATI's drivers are now as good as nVidias. (I especially the Omega drivers, they wipe the floor with anything else).
Back in the days of the Radeon 9xxx series vs Geforce FX, You would have been crazy to go nVidia.
And we don't know how Barcelona compares to the Penryn currently, Nor do we know how the performance compares to Intels newest refresher product, Havent you noticed? Every time AMD announces a new product or an update Intel releases or announces a new refresher?
Mind you back in the days of the Pentium 4/D vs Athlon 64 you would have been crazy to go with Intel...
"will be radeon x2900 pro(replease at may 1st)
or the ultimate flagship of nvidia--geforce 8850 gts ultra"
We don't know what the performance will be until we get some solid benchy marks! (Can't wait personally!)

Go there for some benchmarks on the new ati 2900 cards. Also note that these tests were done with the retail release version of the drivers. So if you got one of these cards this is what you can expect in performance."
They aren't reference clocks, And the drivers aren't as mature as Nvidia's drivers for the latest Direct X 10 cards.
