I wouldn't say either is better than the other. My reason of going for the 3870 are its 55nm, GDDR4 (i think its samsung) and currently the GT/GTS are using some ram i havn't heard of before and are having alot of problems (not all cards have the problems, obviously more faulty ram than there should be). The 3870 overclocks better and is shipped with a better cooler. From what i have seen in reviews, the 3870 seems to give a better picture and wants to render more things off into a distance with more detail than the 8800 would. But that could be due to drivers, im no expert.
Thats a biased answer.
Or I just summed up my answer by a quick google search and some bench marks.
