EVGA 8800 GTX ANS3 768MB Video Card

Well guys, I finally made the big jump. I completely overhauled my system and went to AMD!! The AMD X2 6000+ that is!! I also got the fastest stock video card money can buy, and a lot of money at that! My card was 649.99 and I purchased an extended in store replacement warranty for 99.99 so I dont have to babble with the manufacturer for the next 3 years. I can simply take it back and walk out with another card the same day, as long as its in stock of course.
I originally purchased the 8800GTS 320MB card to see what it was about. I was pretty happy with the benchmarks and the game play. I was able to reach a score of almost 9000 on 3DMark06. Within 2 days of my 14 day return policy I decided to take the money I was planning on using to get another 8800GTS for SLI and apply it with the return and get the big dog. My way of thinking on this was Im spending this money anyway, why not get the best and still have room for upgrades in the future to go to SLI? So thats what I did.
My 3DMark06 score jumped to almost 11000. I should easily topple 12000 with the SLI I would think. I wont know for a while since I plan to wait until these cards go down in price or I get a bonus and an itchy finger to spend it on another upgrade.
This card is awesome and I would recommend any of the 8800 series cards for the best gaming experience...
