I have an ATI X1900XTX.

Can I even compare the 8600GTS with this ATI card?

Is performance comparable?
 
no...Comparing a High end GPU from last year to a Midrange GPU from this year isn't really a fair comparison.
 
You should have really good FrameRates with the ATI Card, and won't see any tangible benefit from that upgrade. From What I've Seen, the Radeon 1950 Pro beats the 8600GTS at most Games, with the only difference being the DX10 thing. I'm Upgrading from an Integrated Solution, and could Justify the Expense on a Vista Box, and so I just received my MSI 8600 GTS OC, Ultra X2 550 PSU, and 2 Gigs of Corsair XMS, just yesterday, so will know first hand shortly if it's a Hit or a Miss. I hope this Helps.
 
Woo Hoo, I just finished installing Flight SimX Deluxe, and what a Great Card, I'm Really Impressed with How Flawless my Install Went.
PC:
Intel Celeron 356 @3.46 Ghz
Ecs Radeon Express 1100 Mobo
MSI Radeon 8600 GTS 256 Meg OC (ForceWare v158.18)
2 Gigs of Corsair XMS DDR2
Seagate 120 Gig SATA
16X DVD +/-RW Burner
550 Watt Ultra X2 Connect PSU
Windows Vista

Who cares if it bottlenecks, if it works well for him thats all that matters, correct?
