8800GT is better than the GTS and 2900, costs less and performs superbly.

From the benchmarks I have been looking at, the 8800GT is definately the sweet spot, thats where I am putting my $$$. Its only being outperformaed by the 8800GTX /Ultra at high resolutions.

While unfortunately none of the modern cards will be able to play Crysis with very high setting and antialiasing enabled, I wouldn't say that the 8800GT is way better than the 8800GTS. A factory overclocked 8800GT is your best bet as of now. ATI will also be releasing a batch of new midrange cards sometime in mid-November and who knows, they might surprise. So you can either buy now or wait and maybe get something better for the same price. The new cards from ATI will also have DX 10.1

I'm also looking to buy at the end of December. Hopefully nVidia/ATI will release their new high end models between now and then so I can replace my aging 1950XTX.

Well nvidia/ati are said to be releasing a couple new cards this month, but I think the "bigger" more powerful cards are going to be released in Q1 2008. The new GTS from nvidia is suppostd to be released this month, and I believe 2 new ATi cards are going to be released too. I dont believe any will be better than the GT though.

well wouldn't that depend on the resolution, if your gaming at 1280x1024 with a GT, or even a GTS/XT/Pro, it sould be able to run on high/v.high

The 8800GT beats the GTS hands down, for no reason that I can think of. With crysis, get the best you can afford. The 8800GT is what you shouldbuy if you can't afford a 1GB HD2900XT. Granted the 512MB version of the 2900XT wasn't all that great, but the 1GB version is far improved, and if you run DX10 will put the 8800s to shame.
