![]() I upgraded that card to a Powercolor Radeon 7500, man i was so amazed with the power of that thing ! i was getting 100 fps on cs 4x aa 16x AF (ati had it b4) and i was getting good frame rates on any other game ^^ ![]() My first videocard was a savage 4 pro (lol), i got it with my 1st pc to to play CS 1.5, i was like wow this thing is fast ! 50-60 fps in 1024 (no aa no af) xD ! All other games though, are more happy running at a more sober clock of 570/1200. NFS Most Wanted & Underground run flawlessly at these clocks. Last week, with Mr.Jimmor's help(who else for a BIOS mod) I relaxed the vram timings. Using Rivatuner, I could overclock it to a stable 571/1179. It came with free DVD versions of Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory and Doom 3. Hence I parted with my beloved XFX 6600GT after making my vendor promise that it would be cremated with military honour. ![]() I was not ecstatic after hearing an unknown brand. Then a ray of hope!!! My understanding vendor agreed to replace it with a new, unheard of brand.BIG for Best In Graphics. I contemplated suicide but was too chicken to carry it out. One fine morning the card just.died My life was ruined. I got the DVD version of FarCry free with this card I could overclock it to 568/1156 from stock of 500/1000. It was complete bliss for me with this card. More than the amount, its the speed which determines performance. Initially, I was apprehensive of its 128MB of vram as both my previous cards had 256MB. I explained the reason for opting for this card above. I reached a stable speed of 540/710 from stock of 350/550 ![]() Incidentally, the 6600 was a superb overclocker. Exactly 4 days later, my vendor rang me up & advised me to return the card and buy an XFX 6600GT 128MB instead for better performance. Infact I could set texture quality in Doom 3 to High Quality & at res of 1024*768 the timedemo 1 got me 23fps.Īlas, I literally killed this battle scarred warrior by trying to play the F.E.A.R single player Demo on it.īought this to replace my deceased 5200. Played Doom 3, FarCry & Painkiller at medium settings at 800*600 with no AA/AF. Got this for my birthday Contrary to popular belief this card served me really well right till a couple of months back. Got this to play Soldier of Fortune II : Double Helix & the UT2003 Demo. The vendor claimed it to be a "very fast" gfx card. Hey!!!My experience is remarkably similar. ![]()
