New Video Card

Is this a good upgrade from a Nvidia 8800GT?

Re: New Video Card

I was going to get a 285gtx, but I think I'll wait for a couple of months, for the DX11 cards from ATI and Nvidia. Hopefully they will be out by Nov!

Thanks for the link PeterT!

No problem, I do hope they come by Nov, but with the track record with both company's I really don't think they will! ...Good morning by the way!
