Hi, I am going to buy the 728MB BFG PCI-Express GF 8800GTX and I would like to know how is the card compared to others and whether is it ture that is does have a PhysX card incorporated in it since I need one aswell. Also, how will it work with a Samsung 226BW (22" Wide) monitor with regards to the picture quality and is the mentioned monitor top range?

Well, the 768MB 8800GTX is great, if you can justify the price. If you're gonna be doing a lot of gaming on it, then it'll be great, especially on a screen that size.

But, save some money, the 640MB 8800GTS will be just as good on that screen. The screen isn't the biggest size available, but it's practical.

And the PhysX card has to be bought separately (good luck trying to get one. I want one, best place is probably overclockers.co.uk)

It not that is has a physic card incorporated into it, it is just can process the same physics as a PhysX card can, although they have not really mastered its capabilities yet

Just my 2 pence.

PhysX cards (now) are a waste of money, there's about 3 games coded for them.

DX10 takes up a lot of the slack that a PhysX card offers.

They're very costly for what they are and do.

Gpu's are getting to the stage now (especially dual card setups) where they can surpass what a PhysX card offers.
