VERY disappointed. Wanted a new video card.
So I went with ATI this go around. Have been using NVIDIA for quite a while but couldnt pass up trying this new monster. Bought one today:

Here's hoping I have better experience with this card than I have with ATI in the past (VERY long time ago).

Been an ATI user for a long time(ok,bought 8800 GTX at one point,but other than that) and never had any serious issues.
But congrats...it's an awesome card. Wink

I only had to enable the second GPU manually via device manager since it wouldn't go to crossfire by default.

This is the first time I have switched completely different graphics card manufacturers without building a new machine.

Is there any particular issues I will run into drivers wise? Will the Nvidia drivers conflict with the ATI in any way if everything isn't removed? What are people using these days to remove drivers? I have driver cleaner but it doesn't seem to work very well with my Windows 7 64 bit OS.

Not a problem under Windows 7, don't even need to uninstall/reinstall drivers when updating or anything, and NVIDIA/ATI happily co-exist Smile

Hehe. Well kept waiting to see if the price would drop when the new Nvidias got released and I wanted to see what Nvidia would offer.
Not only did it not drop, the dambned things have done nothing but CLIMB in price here. And thats if you can even find one in stock.
