Incentives to get a new VIDEO CARD
Any of you looking for a new card, these were from a Radeon X800 XT with 2 gigs of DDR2 ram (scaled down to 800x600 orig. 1600x1200). even scaled down these look great (hopefully on your screen too!) for all of you that dont have a great card, hopefully this will be enough of an incentive to get one!

Thanks for the eyecandy. It's not yet worth the update from my Radeon9800Pro though.

Leventh you can get those exact same settings on a Geforce 6600GT if that's the model you bought.
As the 6600GT is half the price of an X800XT/6800GT then I don't consider it worth it to spend more than that, not until the next generation of games comes out.

Well, the pictures ain't working for me.. but even if they looked beautiful.. I don't know if I would buy the card. Why? Because the card costs +- 500 bucks, an' if ye don't have a PCI express slot on yer motherboard (Which I don't) ye'd have to buy one of those, too. I don't know about ye guys, but I don't have a moneytree growing on my backbone. =P

Anyway, I get the same looks using a ATI 9500. $500,- is alot of money, especially for a video card. I'd take nvidia 6600 GT anyday. |

I have been seriosly considering the 6600GT but I have been reading lots of threads about the problems encountered with this card. Infact that is all there seems to be is negative posts about this card.
Does anyone have this card and is getting good results from it? Would you still recomend this card even though tons of people are having mega problems with it? |

I've had absolutely NO problems at all with my 6600GT. It's probably the best (reliable) card NVidia has to offer for a very good price.
Oh, and it doesn't need a 480W (or anywhere in that direction) power supply like the 6800 does. |

OK next question, i was told graphics will differ depending what client you use (the downloaded or the CDs) this seems rather silly IMO but can any confirm?

Pictures don't work for me, either, so I can't compare.
I doubt tho, from other 'card samples' that I've seen on tester-sites, that they would look very different than screens taken with my own 'paltry' nivida geforce 6200 at the same resolution of 1600x1200. Maybe a little. But not enough to bother switching cards. |

I have a 9800 Pro and I run on 1600x1200 and it's as smooth as butter. I've only gotten to Lions Arch, and I find I'm always seeing things I haven't seen before. Details that I passed by that are interesting. The game has a lot of depth to it.

Yeah that's good and all, but you can get the exact same results on a Radeon 9800 Pro, not a big deal as this game is pretty easy on yer system.
