I tried the 158.16 that where leaked the other day and they are GOOD, much faster than my old 101's, now on the 165.01 beta's that have been leaked, these seem even better?

I can run SH4 with 1.2 patch on 1920x1200x32 on 16x AF and 4x FSAA, and its a smooth a silk, not done a fps count, but it felt/looked good....


thats on an 8800GTX btw

Unfortunately, it's quite a bit less than his.

i did not know that, so anything 79 is < 88??

also, whats the best card i can get right now with nvidia?

Right now, your card is just fine, it's a good card, not top of the line, but it's good.

The best card you can get from Nvidia right now is the card he's got - the 8800GTX.

But, Nvidia will be coming out with new variations of their cards and ATi will be coming out with cards to beat Nvidia! This all will lead to a price drop which is when you should think about upgrading, IMHO.
