    Well that card should run the game on max settitgs at 100 FPS... besides that the only comprable card would be the recently released GeForce FX 5950 256MB

    Can you say "overkill"?  image

    No question the card would do you VERY well for a long time coming.  But it still is much more than you would 'need' to run the latest games with everything tilted to full.  I just rebuilt my PC, and opt'd for a Leadtek GeForce FX 5700.  Still a very solid card, and CHEEP.  image  Tho'...if I were to buy today again, would probably go with a 9800 Pro since they've dropped to near the $200 mark.

    Either way, good luck with the upgrade.

    The relatively small performance gain between the 9800 pro 128 meg and the very newest 9800 xt's it completely unworth $200 I agree.  But if you got the money and are building a monster computer... hell why not go with the top of the line.
