I agree with the the fact that the numbers dont lie. No game is going to push one 8800 card. One tip though on getting those cards. Make sure your case can cover the heat that the produce. I had a issue with having two and I actaully had to customize my case with a extra fan. You can get a After market cooler but that just cost alot more money and it might not fit. Just my cent. Make sure your set up can run the one really.
Later all!

yeah im going to do a lil modifying to my case add som more air holes and 2 more fans . I know I need another power supply so I'll be picking 1 of them up as well.

the only problem that worries me the most is I hope the card itself fits inside my case . I think it will with slivers to spare but im not sure.
