I was surprised by those reviews, but also remember that only 10% gave a bad review, so its a gamble. imho that is too many. I would now suggest either an 8800GT or an 8800GTS 512MB. Do NOT get the 320MB or 640MB versions as they are outdated and don't give as good of a bang-for-your-buck. These cards are a little more expensive but seem to be more reliable.
