Easy to install and very few campatability issues. If you don't want to spend close to five-hundred dollars to get the next best card this 6800gt is a solid performer. In fact if your motherboard can support it get 2 of these and the SLI results are the smoothest you can get.
Nvidia uses the same drivers for almost all its cards and funcitionality is good without being overwhelmed. About the only time I would say buy an ATI version card instead would be for the consumer using multiple monitors and/or watching TV from the card. These are not Nvidia's strongest areas, since speed and throughput are what you are buying.
For features and customization ATI's Catalyst COntrol Center far outshines any software Nvidia offers. Of course with the customizations comes conflicts if the user is not experienced at tweaking

I'm totally satisfied with this card.
The best card you can find with a limited budget. I'm playing Call of Duty 2 and F.E.A.R at full quality, and runs great.
Best complement: Athlon 64 and a nforce Mother board. Rocks!!!
