128Mb XFX 6600GT

Does anyone have this graphics card or could someone tell me how well it would preform at bf2

[Sosobra]

I have it and does pretty good.

[hunter260859]

ok ty

[Sponge]

well it also depends on your cpu, i have a crappy 2.2 gigz cpu and a 6600 gt and i can play it on medium, but u need a better cpu than mine to use the card to its full potential, the 6600gt is a good card and i recomend it

[fatsheep]

I have the exact same card. Although I never bought BF2, I have played the demo and it does fine (especially if you overclock it a bit ).

[mac89]

Excellent card dude! Ive got it and you wouldnt need a new CPU per se, I only got a 2.1 Ghz one and it runs fine on high settings.

[hunter260859]

well thank you all for the help

[Incinerate_IV]

If you are buying it now, then its probably best to get something else. The 6600GT is pretty old.

Yer but it does the job but i was thinking because some games have the min requirement of 256 mb would they run with this card

Dont go by that, its a very hazy guide - at best. What more matters is pixel pipelines, memory speed and clockspeed, its pretty pointless having lots of RAM if the on board processor isnt fast enough to actually make use of it all, so the 128mb XFX 6600GT is fine, it should run modern games, just not very well.

It also depends on your CPU and how much RAM you have.

[hunter260859]

well 1 gb ram and a pentium 4 3.00 how well do you think it would run bf2 and what settings

I would guess medium-low settings.

[hunter260859]

well im playing all right on low with my nvidia 6200 so i was thinking med - high or i could spend £30 more and get a ati sapphire x1600 pro

Hmmm, I would rather spend £90 on this if you have a PCIe motherboard, or if you dont, then buy one.

[hunter260859]

i dont unfourtanly

[Arakorn]

Never mind... :hmmm:

[hunter260859]

eh?

[mac89]

[Arakorn]

Eh, but I swear that it was Black Prince who first posted this, and then later it changed to you... Oh damn, my bad!
