That's great that it has DX11 to support W7 & future games an all that but...the majority of games out there are still DX9 & not even DX10.
So...

Since I got my 8800GTS there has been so much advancement in graphics cards its unreal & the cost has gone way down for the performance you get!!!

At the time of the 8800GTS purchase it was over $300!
Now for the same price I can get almost double the performance!
Just wish I had the money for it...
Even still this ole 88 does OK OCed on most games.
Guess it's because of the 320bit memory interface.
