Agreed.
Plus they have their desktop applications with their Forceware drivers. Such as digital sharpening or digital vibrance options which really helps improve graphics and colours for gaming, at no cost for performance at all.

I have read a few times that their latest forceware which came out not too long ago caused a slight drop in FPS.

Grab the Geforce 6600 256MB Card, it will play every game currently out and performs well  It should be under £100 now.

Actually, the 6800GS outperformed the 6800GT. But, make sure you have about 2 gigs of ram so you can get the best performance out of all your games. It is quite possible to get 70fps with the right set-up on Battlefield 2. And plus it has higher clock speeds.
