ok so this is the one that looks better. 800mhz Engine Clock, 2200 Mhz mem clock, GDDR4 !!!, and 120 Stream Processors. So this one looks alot better but from what I heard the drivers are pretty bad so they make the cards run like crap.

This is the other card. Its not as good as the other one But from what I heard the drivers work pretty good.

So does any one know if there are any bench mark test prooving witch one is better ?

You can check out various benchmarks between the two cards here: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=858&model2=855&chart=275 Looks like they are about even; one card wins sometimes, the other wins other times.

Anyone who is still touting the idea that ATI drivers are not as good as Geforce drivers is trapped in a timewarp. That has not been true for a long time. Now, it is possible that because the cards are so new, the drivers will need time to be optimized.

so what your saying it the the radeon will get better some time down th road. Like 2-3 months ?

There is no guarantee but as a general rule of thumb, new driver versions will arrive that continue to enhance the card. That is true for any brand. Its not going to magically double the power or anything, but a few small gains here and there.
