Would make the wallet cry though.

Those 8800 cards are very nice indeed but the cooling design is a bust unless you water cool.

You what? Care to explain that one? I have 2 8800GTS 640MB on stock cooling and the cooling is perfectly adequate for them.

I love that game! Movie also... And now is coming new game from STARBREEZE Studio! DARKNESS :D

Back on topic.. OpenGL and Vista is a pain also for GeForce owners. My friend is having big problems using 3D software like Maya under Vista. Screen is not refreshed correctly etc. So I think biggest fault in this regard should be assigned to Microsoft and lazy programmers ;)

well i recently went back to Windows XP and the new 7.6 drivers strike again with horrid colors. However in XP in CCC there is no color option to change it to fix it... Im very close to selling off anything ATI/AMD i own and getting a 8800 cuz this is just ridiculous.
