    All high settings, 2XAA, 6600GT? Yus.

    Wow. First off I must say...bravo 6600GT, bravo. I really didn't think it was possible. I never even thought to try all high settings with a 6600GT, I just assumed that there was no way that a $150 card with 128MB of ram would be able to handle textures on high. Boy was I wrong. After about 2 months of assuming it wouldn't work, today out of curiosity I tried it.

    With the specs in my sig, I get 30 - 70 fps constant, on 64 player maps, with 2XAA, and ALL SETTINGS ON HIGH.

    I've never heard of anything like this, anyone else have a 6600GT with comparable results?

    I haven't had the luck of it being that nice, but it's probably because my power supply isn't within the system requirements and I have an AGP version. (I've only been able to play smoothly on mostly low settings, with gemetries at med)

    But yes, I have seen what it can do on a PCI-E 6600GT as a cousin of mine has it. Just like you, he has all settings on High.

      Ugh, I wish I would have known this earlier.

        I know what you mean! I'm so glad I switched over to PCI-E!

        Although I went with ATI and got the Sapphire X800GT 256mb + 256-bit memory bandwidth but it's still a big jump from my old ATI Radeon 9800 PRO (128mb)!! I play with all settings on high and 8xAA with frames ranging between 45-60! It's a whole new game to me!

              Is there really that much difference between AGP and PCI-E? AGP = low settings and PCI - E = high settings? Can't be that much difference.

                I just got the BFG 6600GT OC AGP I run it on high settings without the AA. it runs great. My system is a Athlon XP 2500 with 1 Gig of ram. I will have to try the 2x AA

                  i hate when people get confused.
                  First they mix ATi cards and nVidia cards!
                  u have a x800XT. not a GT. nvidia has a 6800GT.
                  and people called the pacth 1.3 when it was 1.03.
                  whats wrong with u people?

                        i have a 6800 gt oc and run everything on med, just so the game will run very smooth. once i buy more ram i'll think about setting everything on high

                          Yes, but I don't care for all the eye candy, so most of my settings are not on High. I get 70-120 Frames all day long on 64player maps with AA off/DyL off/DyS off.

                          My system specs are not in my sig:p

                              Not at the moment there isnt much, Not till the next gen of PCI-E only cards, PCI-E cards at the moment are just conversions of AGP cards... more than likely a system difference for noticing this difference.
