no gara ur wrong this 6800 is 256 bit and 6600gt is onlt 128 bit but the 6600gt has high mem clocks and core clocks to make up for that lack of 256 bit, and the 6800 has lower clocks but is 256 bit. but the 6800 does not double the 6600gt.

that is such BS. People are running it fine on their 6600 GTs. I run it on my X850 XT, and i dont see that on the list either.
Thats good because i intend to get it at the end of the week. Gotta wait for my DVD drive to arrive first.

The 6800 is still the better card and a steal for it's recent price drop right now, especially if you are able to softmod it to a GT.
 
Heyyo,

Yeah, the pipelines and the bitrate impact preformance more than how fast the clock cycle is. I mean, on me old 3dfx, an increase in 60MHz only gave me like, 3F/S extra at the most... needless to say I tried higher (hey, I was a comp n00b and I thought I was "uber 1337 d00dz") and that card diddn't last much longer.. lol.

I dunno if the core of the 6600gt and the 6800 are different, but I bet they would be. An in the end, for vidcards? the better the core? the more likely it'll take onna vidcard with a weaker core.

I'm sure the 6600gt would run great on BF2 since it is nvidia-optimized. If it game off low framerates I'd be shocked. Remember to upgrade your nvidia drivers to the latest ones to get you as close as possible to 100% compatibility.
 
i just bought a 6600gt evga from newegg guys!! cant wait to get it lol i spent 162.00$ total with shipping for a retail version
 
also that list is crap there are many cards not on the list that play the game just fine.
 
My XFX 6600gt runs BF2 with no problems at all at high settings.........i could swear the 6600gt was on that list???????
