Don't bother with Tom's Hardware. He'd go to any lengths to put a Nvidia
card on top ;o)
This is from Hardocp.com;

The X800Pro should be selling in major retail online outlets today, May 4th,
and selling for an MSRP of $399. The X800XT Platinum Edition will begin
shipping to retailers by May 21st and will be sold at an MSRP of $499. As
usual, those MSRP prices will deflate somewhat quickly if the supply is
available that ATI assures us there is.
When it comes right down to it the X800Pro matches or beats the GeForce
6800Ultra in game performance and IQ. Compare the price, performance, and IQ
of the ATI Radeon X800Pro with the GeForce 6800Ultra, and the X800Pro
definitely stacks up as the better value than the 6800Ultra. NVIDIA is today
launching an even higher clocked Ultra, no doubt in response to the
X800XT-PE. We have yet to even see a retail 6800Ultra for any of the
partners so currently I would consider these a non-issue. Also, a lower
clocked 6800GT is being introduced but this card is simply not currnetly
going to play in the same ballpark with the X800 series from ATI.
The Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition goes even further and burns through these
games like a hot knife through butter, besting NVIDIA's 6800Ultra by an
easily noticeable real-world margin. If the flagship is what you want, be
assured the ATI Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition was the top performer
allowing us to play today's demanding games at higher resolution and quality
settings than any 3D graphics accelerator we have ever experienced.
While we realize that it is not likely that you will own two X800s, both are
worthy of our "Must Have" award. The X800Pro and X800XT-Platinum Edition can
both easily be called Must Have [Hardware] by the discerning gamer.
