But normally, the highend video cards from previous generation are comparable in performance to mid range cards from a new generation. Sometimes the previous generation card could be better. But feature wise, the new generation cards ARE or more appropriately, SHOULD BE superior to even the highest end cards from previous generation. Great example is an X850XT. It's faster than a X1650XT and Geforce 7600GT, but doesn't support Shader Model 3.0. However, you can't say the same about Geforce 6800Ultra. It's almost always slower than a 7600GT. So even in that perspective, ATI is still better.The biggest and only drawback in ATI cards is the high power consumption. An X1950XTX consumes more power than the dual GPU Geforce 7950GX2. But people who buy the fastest systems usually don't care about the power consumption. It's the people who have a budget that are worried about the power consumption.</blockquote>
