A friend of mine wants to spend like 600$ on a video card... I know you all hate the "if i had one billion dollars, what would you get" thread... but this one is real.
BFG 6800ultra OC. Theres a review on the main page of [H]. If he wants a really expensive, ultra high end card, check out the 3DLabs Wildcat Realizm 800. Its PCI-E, with dual GPUs and 640mb ram. Its not great for gaming, from what I've heard.
