1280x1024 @ force 4xAA and 8xAF (can't really tell if it's on though, I get jaggies sometimes, but I think it's just poor texture maping on devs part) on CoR and I get nothing below 32... o-O... In PS3 mode...
And um no offence -- because I dun really care... I like my GT, won't be switching because I have NEVER had a problem with it or any other card from either company.. (just don't mess with this that isn't broken) but does anyone remember the last time Drivenheaven put out a "credible" benchmark...
For '01 your timings are HORRID... x-4-4-7.. if you could even close that down to 2-3-3 You'd get about a ~600 point boost (simply cause of memory reading) atleast in my experience.. Is default or by SPD?
Also make sure your RAM is running in sync with your HT Bus -- basically running it 1:1...
Probably should have thought of that before... The availability is reported not to be solved untill the second half of this year.. it looks like 600 - ~700 is about what you'll have to pay for a Ultra.. I've seen some PCI-Express GT's around for 500... (apparently these clock to real Ultra...
You said 1GB of some green ram... what kinda RAM, 2700, 3200? What... Also , that and Timings will make a HUGE difference in 01... 03 is all videocard.
I have yet to find a game (Except FarCry) that I can't run at 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 16xAF that I can't run without a hitch.
Although most games I play at 1280x1024 with 4xAA and 16xAF... Simply because there is no noticble difference (to me)...
Either card should do you without a...
... The card still plays it. WTF is the big deal? You gonna go play a game while watching it? I can understand if you do alot of encoding/decoding sorta, but at that point you'd probably have a P4...
But dual 6600GT cards still loose to the GT and Ultra at most benchmarks above 1280x1024 (or at) and with any sort of AA...
This is probably going to be the only core available in this setup (considering heat factor)... I wonder why the COMPANY went out of their way to do this..
