Since I intent to seriously upgrade my system only after SoW is out (I do not play any other game besides some chess, mahjong...lol), I was thinking of this card: MSI NX8500GT-TD256EH/D2 256MB PCI-E RETAIL

Is anyone using it?
Anyone knows if it's a decent card for 1946?
Any known issues with it?

Thank you!

Can you say 9800GT (which is a relabelled 8800GT)....

Well, I end up with this one: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?f...d_no=1540#menu

Hopefully it'll be available in the shops (I'll know tomorrow) and will let you know of my impressions.

BTW, which are the suggested drivers (always talking about 1946) for this nv9800gt?

lol I used to have ATI in the past and see no big difference in between ATI & Nvidia.
I just prefer Nvidia because 1C favours it as well.

BTW, so far I'm very satisfied with my new Zilent. It is really a silent VGA
