I was starting to get worried... ATI was pwning Nvidia until recently when the 260 55nm, 285, and 295 were launched. Welcome back, Nvidia.
Side note: SLI/Crossfire:
4870x2 in Crossfire = wtf happened, performance of a single 4870 (Not a x2!)
Same with 4850x2 and GX2 in Sli/Crossfire.
295 in Sli = finally a usable 4 gpu solution. Crysis is now playable on Very High @ 2500 x 1600, although it's running into a gpu ram limitation (ONLY 4gb of gddr3....), and also a CPU limitation with an i7 oc'd to 4 ghz. O_o

Pre 295 everyone was comparing the 4870x2 to the 280... which was stupid. The 280 is a single GPU card, it should be compared to another single GPU card (the 4870). The truth is, nvidia has been on top since the 8800GTX released, ATi has come close, but hasn't surpassed nvidia's cards.

Two GTX295's does not give you 4gb. It equals 896mb.
SLi does not pool the available VRAM, but rather mirrors it. Otherwise, how would the GPU's know what to render?

What Cri2T said is true, in SLI/CrossFireX, the other cards copy the data the primary card renders. The extra VRAM/bus width don't get used.
The 9800GX2 was a failure due to driver issues, it was almost like having an ATI card. ATI's 4850 x2 and 4870 x2 were actually better dual chip cards, the micro-stuttering that the previous dual chip cards had were gone. NVIDIA learned their lesson and now the GTX 295 is the best GPU out there, even Quad-SLI works great with these cards. An i7 overclocked to 4 ghz is not a noticeable limitation to a pair of GTX 295's at all, it's hardly there. Get that i7 even further and it will be totally gone.

I'd consider those pretty low end by now, maybe mid-range, but still pretty close to the bottom.

For what resolution and what game should be this list? For 1920x1200 definatly not.

I believe this list is based on card performance across all settings and games. It's not a benchmark, it's a comparison for future buyers.

ATI is supposedly going to release a new GPU HD 4890 to compete with Nvidia's new GPUs. I see price drops

On what resolution? If it's something like 1024x768, it's still a low to mid-range card. A high-end card should be able to pump out around 30fps average on High @ 1280x1024/1680x1050.

That's mid range imo. Especially now that there is a card setup that can run Crysis on Very High @ 2500x1600 and maintain 20fps. (295 Sli)

A single GTX 295 will go over 30 FPS on 2560 x 1600 on very high with no AA. Even a 4870 x2 averages above 30 FPS on those settings (usually). A second GTX 295 will put you near 50 FPS average.
