Nvidia GeoForce 6600

[POLISH SAUSAGE]

I just want to know if this is THAT much better than my 5200. I want a better graphics card, and this one seems to be the right choice. I just want to be able to play Battlefield 2 on high graphics level, and also be able to play FEAR and Call of Duty with a high graphics setting. Soooo, is it THAT much better, and worth the buy? Thanks in advance for any help :thumb:

Yes it kills your 5200. You might have the settings on high for the most part, but with no AA or AF. Fear is pretty system heavy.

I have said graphics card, and I just reinstalled FEAR today and I forgot how taxing that game is on my card!

pardon me for my dumbness, but what is AA and AF?

EDIT: I was wrong.

Anthroscopic Filtering. Basically they make the game look better, but can kill your proformance.

Get a 6600GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=Go&DEPA=0&type=&description=6600gt&Category=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0) if you can. Their is a difference between the GT and non GT. Exactly what that is, I dunno? But the GT's are better performers, nonetheless.

[POLISH SAUSAGE]

how is it that the GT is less expensive than the non-GT, but still better?

6600gt use GDDR RAM, 6600 uses DDR. 6600gt is also clocked faster.

Thanks for explaining that.

I don't find that to be the case at newegg.
