Performance Notes
*The 8800 GTX really does play COH at these framerates. First I re-tested it using FRAPS, then I re-tested it on a different Vista machine, and got the same freakishly high results. There is a chance that it's a glitch with the driver, which would explain why it snuck through the gameplay test and FRAPS, but in any case, there's no reason to play any game at settings that break 100FPS; turn up the AA and Rangers, lead the way.
The only area here in which the card doesn't hold its own with cards that cost double is Crysis. Even with anti-aliasing on, this card does great playing the secretly-demanding DirectX 10 titles.
