Don't read into this too much. I had this problem but it was the power
supply not the video card. Unless ATI is hiding something really
powerful you wont be disappointed with a 8800. The one I have runs
pretty quite and does a great job in all the games I play. I don't
even bother to see "what" it can do before I play either. I crank the
screen res to 1680X1050 and turn up all the options. Does it slow
down, some times sure. Otherwise it hauls ass!
