Your 8800 GTX should run at least as good as my 8600 GT. With everything maxed except draw distance (I have mine at 256 meters) I can consistantly get 30 to 40 FPS in a quiet sim and 20 in a fairly busy one. Unless the grid is lagged I really don't have any excessive lag to deal with. I don't see where you would have much improvement, visually, with either new card. 30 FPS is fluid motion. But, if you are like me.......you'll get one anyway LOL. I think both work fine with SL.  |

Be sure to post back here with your findings - I'm very interested to hear. I have an 8800 gtx and have read varying reviews on the difference between that and the new cards. I think the 280 is probably the one to get - but for god's sake don't listen to me (I don't know a thing).
