Nvidia GT280

[Feuerfalke]

I use a 8800GTS 640MB ATM, but I am switching in the next weeks.

Performance is not an issue, but various hardware- and driver-problems are and after years of that with nVidia, I'll give ATI another chance.

I'm not a fanboy of any hardware or anything at all. I chose my options from what suits me most. Right now, I have massive problems with BF2 (88xx's hexagonal black-holes), LockOn (shining beaches, no active shadows) and World in Conflict (Texture flickering and massive drawing errors after the first map). This is basically 75% of the games I play.

This is my 2nd 8800GTS, before I had 3 different 7800GT until I finally got one that worked.

Not representative for sure, not typical for nVidia or something else, but annoying nevertheless and considering the bang for the money, my conclusion for the moment is pretty clear.

Before jump forward with advices: I got 2 120mm fans cooling my 8800GTS, so it never comes close to 70°C and I got a very good 750W PSU.

On the funny side, I also got an nVidia-mainboard. Top of the notch, when it was new, especially for overclocking and it works great - until people found out, that any PS/2-keyboard will constantly crash when overclocking with this chipset....
