Asus hit it on the nail. Most game dev's are going for D3D, I like D3D ok but I love OpenGL it has always been greasy smooth, as far as the Nvidia drivers I feel the same way I must have installed 5 diff versions of the Nvidia forceware drivers and one game runs smooth then gives me problems in...
agreed Asus, some ppl are score hooo's. I only use it to see what hardware and software { drivers & overclocking } changes make on the score & how they might relate to the differance in game.
doom111 is not caped at 60 I run about 102 to 55 FPS, unless your Vsync is on and your refresh is 60.
For a 400.00 price range get the 6800GT
For a 500.00 price range get the X800XT
bottom line both cards are good, there both so close that ppl like picking the fly shit out the pepper.
make sure fast write is off in bios to. Also delete the ATI or Nvidia drivers from add & remove programs then look in windows explorer and remove the Nvidia or ATI folder then restart and install the 4.9 cat drivers.
I agree the 400.00 price range the 6800GT is the one to pick, in the 500.00 price range I would have to go with the X800XT. I have to admit it was nice going back to Nvidia, just load the driver and play and not have to install all the diff ATI drivers to find one the game liked.

There just games!! I don't think its a issue that women are not in SEAL/SAS due to not having the ability but more of a moral issue that the men in the group dont want to ever see a women shot up or tortured. I think women have the ability to shoot well and can do the job, I just dont want to...
