I have two PC's
One running an eVGA 8800 GTS ( CPU FX 5700 ) 2 GB ram ...
The nVidia drivers are pure crap !
The other PC is running a 8800GTX ( CPU X6800 ) 4 GB ram ....
The nVidia drivers are again pure crap ....

The current nvidia driver team is a bunch of pig-headed bastards, that refuse to listen to consumers or admit that they have created a worthless POS .

Regards to all ....

If not its the bigges bad*ss vid card for CG

Doesn't work that way. The architecture of the entire card is different. It's not a card meant for gaming. It doesn't process things the same way, even if it has a high clock frequency.

I've heard it is one of the best for high-end CAD and 3D stuff. Definitely a bad***, just not for gaming or normal every-day PC operations.

I seem to recall some guy on newegg writing a negative review because it had poor FPS in quake or some other game. That was enough to convince me it's not meant for any type of gaming.

Somebody asked Skuzzy if a set of video cards he got from work (pulled from a drafting station or some such) would be good for games because of their raw power, and his response was something along the lines of "no."
