My system specs are e8400 @ 3.6GHz, 2GB RAM at 800 4-4-4-12. The other stable overclock I get is 3.4GHz, 900MHz RAM@4-4-4-12.
So I just upgraded from my x1900XT to 8800GT and I was benching supreme commander. I can get an excellent frame rate with everything at max, except for shadows at low, 4x AF forced in nvidia drivers and 2x AA set in the game. I don't know if I could probably go higher anisotropic filtering, but I really don't see much improvement past 4x so why push it?
ANYWAY, 2x AA seems to be the sweet spot for framerate, but when I tried out 8x AA the game looked absolutely gorgeous.
How much more would I have to spend to get 8xAA?
I'm tempted to just return my 8800GT and wait for GT200.
Edit: I'm guessing the bottleneck in this case is either memory bandwidth or even pure memory size. I wonder if this could possibly be a case where a 1GB G92 would do the trick, but all reviews point to no. Maybe an 8800GTX?
