I'm well aware the 8800GTs are not new cards, but I was wondering exactly how well I'll be able to do with them. I'll be buying a 760 or 770 pretty soon, but for the next few months how well will I be able to game, if at all?

The 8800Gts are usually the final cards listed as the minimum requirements for games.

So you will be on low, without anything fancy.

As a bonus, you will really appreciate it when you upgrade to the 760/770!
