the only problem with this card is that it's only going to be slightly higher than the 6800 Ultra. That scares me as Nvidia is charging at least $50 more for the retail card. However, I guess that makes sense. It will probably be a pretty decent boost over the 6800 Ultra. This card may be the way to go if you're looking for a good PCI-e card and you didn't invest in the 6800/X8xx series of cards.
