To replace my old one I got this instead.

This thing is awesome it way out performs its brother the GTX465. Metro 2033 in DX11 with everything on is graphically beautiful. Battlefield BC2 in DX11 is incredible too, but is pipped by the ATI cards at the moment. Nvidia say they are going to fix that :P
They reckon that 2 of these cards in SLI are a lot cheaper than the flagship GTX480 and will out perform it. Note check the PSU these new cards need a bit more power too.
Register an EVGA within 30 days and get a limited lifetime warranty. I think it is 10 years in Europe.

Geek stuff This is for the 768MB card I got the new 1024MB.

To add to this thread. If you have an SLI board. You can put your Main card in the first slot and your old card, for example my 8800Gt in the second slot. What you do then is, obviously you cannot bridge them out with the SLI lead, but in the Nvidia control panel you can dedicate the spare card solely just to run Nvidia's Physx. This will not really be necessary though as the 400 series is very powerful.
