NVIDIA® Intellisample™ 4.0 Technology :

* Intellisample's intelligent antialiasing captures a higher-resolution version of each image, then resizes and resamples it for output to your screen, reducing "jaggies" and smoothing away imperfections
* Advanced visual effects engines deliver the most realistic gaming experience and exceptional visual quality through gamma correct rotated grid antialiasing and advanced anisotropic filtering
* Improved sample coverage (up to 128 Taps) improves quality of anisotropic filtering
* Support for normal map compression enables more lifelike characters and environments

NVIDIA® UltraShadow™ II Technology :

* Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games that feature complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects.

Pros:	Everything
Cons:	High PSU Eater

I got this card with my computer, and it is by far the fastest and has the best quality I have seen out of all the cards so far. Although FS2004 isn't a game based for quality, the 7800GTX can show it's true quality with future games like Doom 3, HL2, BF2.

Pros:	Very fast GPU, High FPS
Cons:	55 Degrees C when idle

Gives a pretty consistent 60 FPS in pretty much everything I've tried it with. I can't wait to see how well this puppy handles Quake four and the next version of Flight Simulator.
