A month or two ago I upgraded my PC one of the components I needed to upgrade was the graphic card.
 

I had always used graphic cards made by nVidia and will continue to use them until I find something better and easier to use. This PNY Verto GeForce 6800GT 256MB video card as I wanted to be able to play the latest games and have the best possible video quality on my computer (it is not the best now, but it was when I bought it). I paid about $400.00 for this card, but let me tell you this, it is worth every penny; I did not want to get the GeForce 6800 Ultra because I knew I could overclock the GT and make it perform the same as an Ultra or even better. I did not get the regular 6800 because it would require a lot of overclocking and that would result in over heating as well.


ABOUT MY PC :
After researching for about a month or two I decided to upgrade my computer about two months ago. I did a lot of research on the processor (AMD Athlon 64 4000+) I wanted to buy, the motherboard (Asus A8V Deluxe) I had in mind, but I knew exactly which video card I wanted. When I bought this the nVidia 7800 GT was still in the making, so the 6800 GT was the best video card for me at that time. I was upgrading from my old PNY Verto GeForce 5200 FX 128MB video card which was good, but I craved more graphic power and I would need to spend a much greater amount to acquire that. The reason I chose PNY is because I read good reviews about them and I have on-hand experience with one of their products.
