OMG NEWEGG ROXORS THE BIG ONE!!111!!!1! :D Winter, Supposedly the 256mb version of the 6600GT outperforms the 6800 in almost all areas. I'd have to get a 6800GT to get better performance. Since my mobo is AGP only the high-end Radeons aren't an option plus those cards are all $100+ more expensive. I...

XFX video Cards?

Just curious if anyone has experience with this company. I have never owned anything by them though a few quick searches haven't yeilded anything negative. I'm looking hard at this card. It's the only 256mb 6600GT available at the moment. Well actually it isn't available since it's out of stock ever...

oo, icky. Looks like your card is freaking out. Is it by chance overclocked? If so you've pushed it too far, back it off a little and see if it clears up.

Yeah, the BF menu shows up fine. I can actually play for 5-10 minutes before it locks-up. I did completely clean my HD of everything ATI (including the registry). I didn't use drivercleaner but I accomplished the same thing. Probably would have been much easier to use that program. :P I've looked in...

There's no way the display is making the games crash. All it does it display the information it is sent. The problem is that the drivers are not supporting the resolution properly. At least that is my opinion of what is happening since dxdiag is clean and it happens with all games. Perhaps it is a v...

I wasn't actually refering to the drivers themselves, but the ATI control panel, installers, etc. The drivers for the most part work fine. Now that I have a 1280x720 display this is the first time I have ever had game crash problems due to driver issues with ATI. All of my games crash or fail to loa...

BF has always run better on nVidia cards for some reason. For example on BF:V my 9600XT barely squeeks out 30 fps while many people with less expensive and lower benchmarking nVidia cards get 70-80 fps. :? So for BF definitely go with nVidia over ATI. On a personal note ATI customer service is horri...
