I've just bought myself an ATI 4870X2 based on highly favourable reviews, and it's in the mail. I'm a bit nervous about drivers though, especially since it's a dual-gpu card. I was looking at getting 2, but the price in Aus is $670 a card right now, and quadcrossfire driver support is pretty dodgy right now from what I've read. So I'll wait 6 months or so and get a second one.

I really don't know what cards I've used before, since my computer died before I was into components enough to see what vid card it had. But it was a laptop, so I doubt it had a lot. I hear nVidia is bringing out PhysX drivers for their cards, which could be a plus.
