July 1, 200520 yr OH BTW Jairyn you'll be very pleased with the 6600gt, I love mine. With my setup i get around 3500 on 3DMark 05 and thats not too bad using a 6600GT from what I've read.

July 2, 200520 yr it's funny cause what you just posted said that the lowest BF2 goes with Geforce cards is the 5700. I have a 5600 Ultra and it runs it fine....on low settings....on 800x600....BUT IT STILL WORKS!
July 2, 200520 yr If you already bought that XFX card... good luck, I heard they like to die early :/ I don't buy ANYTHING (when it comes to computers) without Macs Sign of Approval.
July 2, 200520 yr NOOOOOOO Jairyn. First off you don't want 256mb of onboard RAM!!!!!!! Spend the extra and get a 6600GT with 128mb of ram. PLEASE !!!!!!! Mac Listen everytime Mac, he is an expert & specialist of computers: he is the Best & Great reference.Egidio.
July 5, 200520 yr Author 5600 Ultra is not a bad card. I had one and overclocked it. It was a Neweggg refurb and died ain a few months. It was a little faster than a ATI 9600XT and TI4200. It did DX9 though. You might just want to keep it till you get e new system.
July 5, 200520 yr Author Uh. No. You might want to upgrade someday. They only do Direct X 7 content so games dont look to good.

It did DX9 though. Would you suggest overclocking my 5600? I've had it for 2 years, and all i want to do is play bf2 on medium settings. This isnt a big jump from what im playing now (mostly medium some low) How do i overclock it?
July 5, 200520 yr Author www.guru3d.com download coolbits Run it go to your advanced tab in your display properties and look for clock frequencies. Push the card about 30mhz on mem and core initially and then go 10 mhz at a time ONE at a time till you find the max at each.
July 5, 200520 yr how will i know when i've reached the max? EDIT: when I change the mhz for standard 2d and performance 3d it says i have to test them to make sure the computer can handle it. When i run the test it says that the settings are too high and it makes me put them back down. What do i do now?

When i run the test it says that the settings are too high and it makes me put them back down. What do i do now? that problem sounds odd i have coolbits and its just two sliders you increase or decrease and you hit apply post a screenshot of it to test play games or run benchmarks in a loop for a while memory over heating or clocked to high results in artifacts (they look like the screen is screwed up wrong colors, no colors, parts got froze on the screen) youll know them when you see them and the core is to high/fast when games sieze up and freeze or wont run or crash just increase one at a time so you know which one caused the problems
July 5, 200520 yr Artifacts can also be little white pixels. Like KFA said, youll know when you see them. Make sure to increase them separately though. Probly one of the biggest mistakes of new overclockers, they move everything up really high and it just plainly doesnt work. Take it slowly, and gradually increase the speeds until they are just below where artifacts start.
July 5, 200520 yr k, here's everything it gives me. In order http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v56/MrBojangles/overclocking.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v56/MrBojangles/overclocking1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v56/MrBojangles/overclocking2.jpg
July 5, 200520 yr wierd ive never seen that before what were the stock speeds try useing a program called rivatuner i know it doesnt do that
July 5, 200520 yr that's not the actual program, thats the default Nvidia thing. I dont know if it was there before I installed coolbits. The stock speeds were 400 and 800. I tried putting it to 403 and it didnt work. I'll download rivatuner
July 5, 200520 yr ya some drivers come with coolbits some dont all coolbits does is give you access to those sliders the wierd part is the testing thing ive never seen that before try rivatuner if that doesnt work somthings wierd
July 5, 200520 yr could you explain what I should do with Rivatuner. I was looking through it and its not as simple as coolbits.
