Battlefield 2 Performance
Battlefield 2 is a graphically demanding game, and framerate really counts here due to the "twitch-shooter" gameplay element. That being said, the 7800 GT will run the game relatively well. However, if you like playing at 2048x1536 (and you have the monitor for it) with AA enabled, you might want to go with the 7800 GTX instead.
At 20x15 with AA enabled, the 7800 GT gets 36.1 fps, as opposed to 42.5 fps on the 7800 GTX. While this is only about an 18% gain, it will still mean a big difference in gameplay. 1600x1200 with both AA enabled and disabled saw about a 20% increase from the GT to the GTX and 20x15 without AA gained a 25% increase, going from 57.7 fps to 72.1 fps.
Taking a quick look at SLI performance, it's difficult to justify getting 7800 GTX SLI over 7800 GT SLI. The performance difference is only 7% at best with 4xAA enabled. Of course, if you're already spending $800, what's another $150 for 7% more performance?

The Doom 3 benchmarks seem to be 100% absent. The page is there, text is there, but no graphs.neogodless - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - link
... the rest of the article. Besides the missing pages, the bottom half of the second page seems to be cut off.But... we know how frustrating being on that end of these problems can be. I wish you the best of luck in getting it fixed while still having a full head of hair (assuming you started with one!)

Has there recently been a problem with article posting? Ive noticed it more and more on anandtech; are these pages uploaded one at a time?nastyemu25 - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - link
more importantly, if they're uploaded one at a time then the why don't the work from the last page to the first.JarredWalton - Friday, August 12, 2005 - link
The document posting engine isn't designed to be posted last to first. Normally, articles are uploaded and then activated. Some times a mistake is made where an article goes "live" before all the pages have been uploaded.
