    8800m GTS/9800m GTS, I dont think its quite up to par with the 8800mGTX/9800m GT.

    Me and my fried, we make same test betwin 3870 and 9800m GS. They perform on same level, 9800m GS perform little better.Overclocking is different story, 9800m GS is massively overclockable and win in every game we test.

    I have 3870 desktop and 260M and I can tell 260 beats the crap out of ati. To make it short: 3870=gta4 mediocre performance at low settings, 260M=30FPS @ High/ultrahigh settings.
