Hi,
I recently got a gtx260-216 to replace a 8800gts 320 MB (inferior to your 8800GTX, with only 320MB of memory).
Runs very nicely on an Antec 500W power supply. Does require 2 PCIe power connectors though and is VERY long - 2 inches more than the 8800gts320 - I had to convert my case to get it in!
It runs cooler as well which was surprising.
Big step up in performance from my old card. I read that il-2 was cpu-limited, but noticed huge improvement in fluidity of motion with the new card and IQ took a small step upwards too (182.5 drivers).
Running at 1680x1050 with E8200 Core2 Duo on Perfect with landGeom=3.
