Image quality... in the sence (in games) like the textures AA and all this stuff.. maybe im outdated with this opinion ...
In most recent reviews I've read, there's practically not much difference in image quality. Plus there are tons of choices of AA settings to play with. AF has been improved since 8000 series, so both are very evenly matched. Using nHancer also allows SSAA mode, which is by far superior to newer (faster) AA mode, of course, the performance is quite low... I use it to play old games.

Cyberwarrior: It's up to you, but honestly, you have made your decision, you are here just to get everyone to agree with your decision.

I finally was able to get here, after trying for over 2 hours to get the page to open.
I realize is my choice,but you tried to second guess me,and then you make me out to be looking for sympathy.
Well I hate to burst your bubble,I chose the 9880gtx and my decision was based upon responses from here and 5 other forums I belong to.BTW check into forum,and try to determine what's up with loading speed.Order went out 5/13,for a total rebuild,$1422.20 tx and shp included.
