best video card

[John Doe]

Of course "best" depends on the system...

ZT-98GES3M-FSL
It is based on the GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit stuff but uses 40%
less power. Also, apparently it includes the new output set (1 DVI, 1
HDMI, and 1 D-SUB) instead of (2 DVI and 1 S-Video). That part number
is by Zotac, apparently MSI also sells a low-power version of the
9800 GT.

Yep!
That is a pleasant surprise, Amazon shows the old output set.
It also appears to be a big improvement over my (dead) 7950GT.

Ask away... You are much more likely to get decent answers in
public with peer review. Also, there is a Gigabyte motherboard
group, if they feel like answering questions.
