    OK the reason I am posting is because I heard that Having a 590 chipset Mobo will hold back the 8800GTX card... Meaning that I wont be able to have the full effect over having something like a 680i ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813188009 ) with the card installed on that. Currently I have the ABIT Fatility AN9 Mobo- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127237
    So basicly Im just wondering if anyone can look into this and check if I will have a performance loss...I REALLY! want that 8800GTX though. But I dont want it to suck... help me!! :)

    You shouldn't have any issues, besides what powersupply ye have.
    All PCI express motherboards use the same architect, in the end. I.E. bandwidth.

    PCI Express 2.0 is coming out next year, but, no current motherboards use it.

    I have an OCZ 700 Watt, But I heard getting a 8800GTX will work differently on a 590 Mobo and I heard that 680i was supposed to make the card alot better for gameing or what not

    the 8800GTX will run fine on a 590 mobo, now the qestion is what CPU are you running

    well your cpu is somewhat of a bottleneck, so keep the res up and AA and AF at max and you will enjoy it

    Anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering

    AA reduces "jaggies", the stepping (rather than a straight line) you see on the edges of things in games

    AF keeps textures from deteriorating in quality over a distance; close up ground textures appear sharp and detailed while the ground in the distance will look a bit faded and blurry. AF keeps the texture looking the same at all distances
