I never used an 8800 but from what I was told they were a solid card.The 7950s were from about 5 years ago, that just happened to be the biggest batch of returns. I've done about 5 returns on 8800GTXs. And I'm not saying ATI cards are more reliable, but I'm willing to give them a try at this point. Many years ago, ATI had superior hardware and terrible fucking drivers. The drivers improved greatly when they went to a unified driver architecture like nvidia had, but now their hardware is barely keeping up.
I remember buying a 7950GT when they were new for about $300 half a decade ago.
Shoulda bought an X1950 XT.
