True, i have this card and is good low cost solution, and runs very well in all games at 1024x768, i played a lot of games with very smooth frame rates
(doom3, sh3, serious sam 2,farcry,etc)

i don´t want change my card until i upgrade my computer . with a new motherboard,cpu,and graphic

i´ve played with farcry with last patch and the water is amazing,clear,and transparent

what pixel shader does it use ?? :hmm:

Pixel Shader 3.0 makes Pixel Shader 2.0 look lame. lol

As far as getting a GeForce 6600 for this game, I wouldn't...unless you plan on turning graphics options off now and buying another card later. Though I guess it really depends on what options you plan on running the game with and at what resolution. To be honest, if you like high settings and resolutions, I don't see a 6600 cutting it.

What about X800XL? It has PS 2.0b i think? Does this make any difference?

Ark · 03-11-07, 03:46 PM

If I was going to upgrade right now, and I wanted PS3.0 capabilities, I would probably look at a one of the 512mb GF cards, or one of the ATI offerings with the same capabilities and amount of RAM.

The latest (IIRC) 6600 is "ok", but "ok" won't quite cut it with many of the newer games at high settings with high FSAA and AF going.

I suspect if you want to watch a full battle scene with excellent frame rates in hi resolution with all the graphic settings on then nothing short of a core 2 duo , 79xx series card will be good enough .

edited to include (with excellent frame rates)

I'm glad to see that my card will cut it. It may not be able to run at the highest level, but I will be able to play it!

When I get a New Machine next year, then I'll be fine.

I have a ATI X1600 PRO, 256mb videocard. Will this card enough to run SH4 decently?
