ATI officially confirmed

ATI said in front of 150+ journalists that R600XT won't be able to compete with Geforce 8800 GTX. The dream is dead and Radeon HD 2900 XT won't be able to catch up with a six month old Geforce 8800 GTX.

ATI said that R600XT, Radeon HD 2900XT is about the performance of 8800 GTS. Radeon HD 2900 XTX won't be launched at mid may and will be delayed to Q3 2007. We already wrote about this here.

The dream that AMD can do something and return as the high end market leader s gone. R600 rails against G80. Congratulations on Nvidia.

Bugger.

Well this now completely depends on pricing. If the R600XT is cheap enough, it'll certainly be chosen by people to out-perform the 8800GTS, but for a lesser cost (and performance) than the 8800GTX.

Aye, good point. I guess image quality and drivers would also be a factor as well.
