As I said, the card is fine. The detail rendered in AH is superb and never falls below the 60 frame rate my monitor and V synch are set to. My step-son plays America's Army and is hellbent on getting a Geforce 8899GT 512 card.
I only recently found out about the EVGA step-up program, which allows you to take full credit on a previously purchase EVGA card if you do it within 90 days. I missed the deadline by one day

Long story short I told the youngun I'd [ay half the difference towards the 8800 GT if I could recoup $50 on the older card.
There ya have it
