3850 vs 8800gts

[aggr1103]

Anyone found any comparisons between these two cards? I don't game at a ridiculous resolution and I've been happy with my present cards performance - albeit at medium settings - in Crysis, but I'm planning on upgrading here before Christmas. There's a big price difference in these two cards and I'm curious as to what kind of performance the 3850 has in comparison to the 8800gts.

Only reason I'm even considering the 320mb 8800gts is because of the exhausting cooler it carries. That's pretty much what i'm in the market for. I've found the gecube 3850 with the exhausting cooler as well. I also like the pricepoint on the 3850 as I could crossfire it with a 3870 whenever they become available.

I don't have direct benchmark comparisons but I went from a GTX to a 3850 (256 MB) and overall I am quite impressed. I have not overclocked at all and I am able to play Source engine games at max settings (1900 x 1200). With UT3 engine games, I have to turn down the AA and AF but it still runs COD4 over 30 fps on average.
