I play on an older dell M991 trinitron monitor (2002 model). This monitor likes 10x768 resolution the best, anything higher and the text gets a lttle to small.
Anyway, I can play cs source maxed out 4aa & 16af reflect all, SMOOTH gameplay at 60 to 100+fps.
BF2 I can play at high settings 10x7 -medium textures&medium shadows, all else high 50+FPS. I may be able to fix that with another gig of memory
Point is-I thought I might have to buy one more AGP card before I move to PCI-E 6800U or X850XT PE. It would of been Nvidea because ATI will never price beat Nvidea. I don't blame ATI because thay are based in Canada and money just doesn't go as far as the US. So looking at current result's 6600gt's are one hell of a card overclocked or not. I have smooth gameplay at stock speeds 500core 900mem. I did overclock it to 550/1050 but really didn't need it. Once this baby warms up at stock speeds it really flys.
Question- Eventually I will need a new monitor when this one dies, but I'm happy at 10x7 max settings source and BF2. Fear will not be purchased for poor optimized in house development. Do other high end 19in and 21in CRT Monitors show 1600x1200 desktop, internet, fonts, readable without massive tweaking? Mine will do 1600x1200 @ 72mhz but the everything is too small to read.
Looks like this system will hold for longer than I expected.
All of this is just my opinion
Man Nvidea really pulled one out with the 6 series. OUCH! Ok hate me now
