Why does everything have to be on max? Once you reach a certain point, the human eye cannot discern the difference.
I recently bumped my BF2 up to my monitor's native resolution of 1280 x 1024. All it did was to make things smaller and a little clearer... really messed up my aiming for a day or two. But it was just fine on 800 x 600. I run the other settings on a mishmash of levels... not because I can't run them on high, but the settings I use gives me the best visibility in the game. Being able to see the other guy is more important to me that whether the grass is waving perfectly in the breeze.
The 7900GS, or 7900GT, can run any game out there on high or close to high settings, if you are so inclined. Besides, NVIDIA is still having driver problems with the 8800's.
