June 19, 200520 yr I was looking at the video cards supported by BF2 on a website and I noticed how there is no support for the 6600 line. I've got a 6600GT, does that mean I won't be able to play BF2 until they release a patch that supports it?
June 19, 200520 yr Does the demo work? I can't see that the graphics support would be any different for the actual release.
June 19, 200520 yr i believe it works no problem. assuming you have xp, set a restore point before you install the drivers that came with bf2 if they are needed.
June 19, 200520 yr I have been playing the demo all day on a 6600 with no problem. It did prompt me to install the drivers that came with it, but no problems.
June 20, 200520 yr Author I'm not gonna install the drivers that came with it. I'm not a fan of beta drivers. Unless they are necessary?

June 20, 200520 yr Why would they NOT support it? "Hey Jim lets support the 5700, 5900, and 6800 series, but skip the 6600. Just to make people mad." Must have been a typo.
June 20, 200520 yr Ya, they did that with the X850 series in the first set of requirements. Not sure if they changed that since the demo. Seriously, how could the top of the line card from ATI not be supported? THats just dumb. My guess is the 6600 is the same way, just got left out.
June 20, 200520 yr I'm not gonna install the drivers that came with it. I'm not a fan of beta drivers. Unless they are necessary? I installed the latest official drivers from Nvidia, and that did not fix nasty block shadows around the models. After I installed the ones that came with the demo, everything worked fine.
June 20, 200520 yr What leads you to believe they are beta?? I'm thinking they'll be the next release version from Nvidia, and would even wager that they'll be released to coincide with the BF2 release. I used them and all is well and fine. As long as your card can do the 1.4 pixel shader thing, and has at least 128 mb memory (which all the 6600's I've seen do), then you'll be fine. BUt would highly recommend the drivers, otherwise, in the demo anyway (and I'm betting the same in the release) you'll get harassed by the game to load them or newer. TFD
