What till next week as the new GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB cards will be released along with the 169.29 drivers... It's worth the wait... I will have a review of one on launch day.

Are you saying the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB is a better card than any of the 640MB cards listed in the poll?

If you are asking about the manufacturer PNY I've never had a problem with, BFG on the other hand has produced nothing but cards that fry in less than a month, I guess I've just had bad luck.
Under the hood:

MB: nVidia nForce 680i SLI
Video: Geforce 8600 GTS 256
Sound: Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Edition
Ram: 2000 MB at 800 Mhz
CPU: Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo @ 3.0 GHZ

Yes, because of the G92.

BFG offers a lifetime warranty on their graphics cards.

G92 is a new processing unit on the 8800GTS's, basically all you need to look for would be the 512MB 8800GTS cards, as they all use the G92 core and the 640MB ones use the older slower core.

Helicopters are trickie, especially in with the hardest setting, but i have been able to get quite a good handel on them.

On an other note.
Everyone in here says that the new 8800 GTS 512MB G92 is the way to go.
Compare this one to the 8800 GTX 768MB.

If you had to buy today, with the current prices, whats the better buy?
