I know that this really belongs in the tech forum, but I think that everyone needs to know. The Nvidia 8800 series cards have issues with fog and character rendering that makes people fade to nothing the farther they are from you. Also the shadows are way to dark and there is no way at this point to adjust them. I don't know how these cardsrun on Vista and DX10, but on XP they have issues with the HL2 engine. Sure I was getting over 200fps but if you can't see people in shadows or the fade away to invisible, you can't play. Some time Valve or Nvidia might fix this issue. I would advise making sure they do before you buy one of these cards.
