There's no doubt this is the best card on the market. Every feature is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition from ATI, at least until they release their own DirectX 10 capable card, the R600. The real question is whether to buy this card, or wait until competition brings the prices down and game developers actually start making games that utilise the new improved features.

It's the most powerful card on the market and trumps its closest competitors, but it's also the most expensive. If you want the best frame rate possible from a single card though, this is the one to buy.

Those who want the absolute best settings on in their DirectX 10 games (such as the soon to be released Crysis) may want to wait for the next generation of cards, but for now this card is the best available on the market.

A reasonable alternative for enthusiast gamers, but it is outdone by some offerings from Nvidia.

CrossFire can definitely keep pace with NVIDIA's SLI in most games and surpasses it in others, but it is still physically clumsy compared to SLI.
