If you want to see how it stacks up right now, it is not looking even useful for Oblivion that was made last year!

PS. If you do go for a better board and want to play one of the new games coming out like Crysis, I'd suggest going ATI over NVidia. ATI boards seem to be pulling 2x the FPS in these newer games, probably due to the greatly increased number of vertex shaders over the NVidia offerings. THis is just something to keep in mind if you spend the extra cash on a higher end rev of one of these boards.

Thank you for the info and link, The card that i was interested in has 512mb onboard video ram, all i saw on that web site was 256, does it make a differance in performance to have more ram?.. also The memory clock says 1100 where this card is 1400mhz. (Thank you for your replys) :hmm:
