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.
Intel is also coming out with their new GPU at the end of the year to compete with ATI and nVidia. The only thing left is for nVidia to get into the CPU market. I wonder if they'll rework the PhysX processor into a full-blown CPU?
