I was mostly interested in that card because it's got a pair of fans, and
supposedly runs a lot cooler than similar cards. I'm interested primarily in
getting a GTX of some kind, and i'm looking at a budget of $800 or lower
essentially.

So the evga ultra is definately an option. Seems the consensus is that
the calibre overclocked 8800 gtx with the cooling system is overpriced.

For comparison a BFG 8800 GTX OC2 is $589 (1)
The 8800 Ultra from EVGA is $829 (2)
Another interesting one is the EVGA 8800 GTX KO ACS3 edition (which
supposedly features an alternative cooling system as well, for $649.99 (3)

I'm upgrading from the PCI-E XFX version of this card:

I'm running at a resolution of 1680x1050 using one monitor.
