Oh I like NV just fine. I am waiting for Kepler to upgrade my gaming PC. This isn't going into my gaming PC :)

lol, then I wouldn't really touch it the way it is... upgrade it when you feel your non-gaming pc is running out of steam graphics wise... but if you got spare changes that you have to spend... sure~ XD

I currently a 5850 (with 5870 bios ) running at 925/1225 and I can't forsee wanting another AMD this year..... It still runs BF3 on HIGH with average 60fps and I doubt that Diablo 3 (being a blizzard game) will tax the system much. The Nvidia Keplers just seem far and above the current gen ATI's cards. I'm holding out for the 670's myself and plan to get an ivybridge with it. But I'm waiting on a $1200 game to encourage me to spend that money.....
