i just ordered one, along with a 600 watt powersuply to give me some leway. and i just wanted to know if anyone has this card or one in the same family, and let me know what they think of it, and what they are playing. i know its not the flashiest card, but im planning on getting another one soon and doing sli. but for now i have one comming in ups. but anyways, i just want to get an idea of how it will work out on games like cod4/5, gow, bioshock, or even crysis. this is a major upgrade from my old card, i am just now getting back into pc gaming, just got my new rig together, dual pentium D (3ghz), 2 gb of ddr2 ram, the model of my board escapes me at the moment, but yeah, before i was using a 7300 256mb, so big upgrade for me,

thanks alot guys

What resolution would you plan on running your computer? SLI would certainly help you the larger resolution you have. I would think it wouldn't be worthwhile to get 8800 gt SLI with your current specs. I would say get a single 8800gt and upgrade the processor to Intel E8400 or something. That and if you are running Vista get an extra GB of ram. A single 8800gt is still very good for gaming right now, maybe SLI'ing later but after you improve your CPU.
