Any Help Guys id be thankfull

wow, there´re 6600 cards out there with 515mb. didn´t know that...

assuming you´re familar with driver installation/deinstallation try ver 66.93 of the nvidia videocard driver. It´s maybe a better choice for your card.

http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/6...ernational.exe

what about mods? are you using any (esp. visual improvements) you havn´t used before? F.e. the increased visibilility mod is a big framerate killer (but i´d not play a single minute anymore without it ;-) )

My pc sucks compares to yours, and I've had to turn down the game's graphic detail somewhat to get suitable frame rates, especially with more and more mods that I've added. But that shouldn't be your problem, but it might be one way you can play the game in the meantime until someone can help you out.
