Default Nvidea 8800 ultra

grrr i just read 3 user reviews that claimed that many of the xfx cards died with in a week and that the drivers were terrible so now my brain is all negative about the xfx brand
so now im on the hunt for an evga or similar reputable brand ultra card for about 350
that is unless someone here has an xfx ultra and can sway me

As far as I know all 8800s use the same drivers, there is only one download from nVidia.com.

Cewy, tell me you're going to be gaming at 1920x1200.

Otherwise the Ultra is a complete waste of your money.

You won't, repeat won't, see any benefit of the Ultra if gaming at a lower resolution.
