Not sure what is wrong...

Hey guys,
I just need a little help in what is stopping me player with full textures.
I have everything else on full and 4XAA but when texture is on full, it stutters like anything, but if i stand still, its fine.
My specs are:

Giga-byte GA-8IP775-G (Intel 865P)
Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz (800FSB) HT enabled
2GB DDR 400 (Dual channel)
Soundblaster Audigy platinum 2
Geforce 6600GT OC 128MB
2x200GB Maxtor SATA HDD's

I have a feeling its because of my gfx card, i have been told its best to use a 256MB one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

That card cannot handle all graphics options on full.

Turn things down one at a time to medium (starting with dynamic lights and shadows) and stop once things get smooth.

Re: Not sure what is wrong...

what would you recommend for this then? I was thinking of a 6800 gt 256mb

6800 gt 256mb is a good card and can runall on high.

Yes, the 6800GT is what I have (I believe they are ALL 256 MB) and it can handle all high settings.

Re: Not sure what is wrong...

is there any others you would recommend as this one is quite expensive

Re: Not sure what is wrong...

You get what you pay for. There is a reason your 6600GT won't run on high settings. It was cheaper by a large margin. Anything by nVidia better than the 6600GT will be more expensive. Those are the rules of the game

You can try the ATI X800GT (just learning about it now ) if you don't mind switching to ATI.

Personally, I stick with my initial recommendation of playing with some medium settings until you achieve good FPS.
