It's good that battle is on between Nvidia and ATI once again. My ATI 9800 does the job for RtCW but the newer games need more power.

Yeah, but you didn't beat me!

Look at the specs I posted in another thread.

My ati 9200 is not good enoeph for bf2 so I wont be able to play it...

[[ecgn] btt]

Guess it is time to upgrade from my 5500. I am actually getting a 6600 this weekend. Upgraded but still outdated. I will have to sell a Kidny to catch up.

[SkiloDog2000]

im getting a 6600 also.
can anyone help me on weather i should get the 6600 with 256mb ram or the 6600GT with 128mb ram. bf2 recommends a 256mb card but the clocks are higher on the GT.

It's a 6800 ultra with 8 more pipelines... more pipelines do help but not for 600 lol

i dont think any one part for a computer is worth that much

[cavalierlwt]

If you have the money, and Wairudo apparently does, it's worth it. Or I should say *they're* worth it (he's got two of them in SLI mode!)
I look at it like this: I don't go out drinking at bars, I don't rent movies, I don't gamble. I come home and relax with video games. So I come out cheaper in the long run just dropping some money into my computer gear every year or two.

im running 45 fps at max settings 1024x768.... on a 9800 xt.
but i am buying a 6800 ultra anyways =)

I had an ATI 9200 and a 9600 before this 9800. The 9600 was a waste. I learned to go right to the top when it comes to video cards.

They demoed this on g4. Pretty amazing. Its not going retail for like a month though. Oh and Namloot, i love that avatar

[Juggernaught]

I haev the 6600GT 128mb, hyperthreaded, and i run BF2 perfectly smooth. Don't know anything about the 256mb card, but mine works fine.

The 7800 is pretty much useless at present time. Why spend so much money on one of them when a 6800 ultra/Radeon X850 play games at max settings anyway? Only the hardcore gamers who MUST milk every FPS out of their CPU will be the ones buying it right now. I suppose if you want to show off 3dmark benchmark results you'll want this card as well.

ATI will be releasing their next gen video card, R520, in late summer. That too, will be a waste to upgrade
