cod2, 6600gt, dx9 mode - playable?

[marc2003]

question as title really...

i'm thinking it might be ok at 800x600. can anyone confirm? will be with my sig rig so you can equate that to a single core a64 at the same speeds.

my plans for a shiny new 7800gs have gone out the window due to my bonus from work being less than expected.

I played in on a 6600GT in dx9 at 1024 and unfortunately the perf was poor. that was with a 2,2gghz X2 and 1gb ram. In the end i opted to play at 1280 with dx7 which was much faster and not all that much worse gfx wise.

well i used to have a 6800gt and that struggled at 1024x768 with everything on high so i knew that a 6600gt wouldn't cut it. that's why i asked about 800x600. as i have a crt, i think i'd rather play with nice gfx at a lower res.

unless there is some crazy offer come thursday on the 7800gs/x850xt then i'm going to go for the 6600gt and save myself a few pennies.

Hi there,

I have an X800XT and I play everything a high as I could in DX 9 mode and it is playable, don't find it particuarly laggy...

that's just great......

Sorry, I just thought it maybe something you can compare too....

your x800xt isn't even in the same league as a 6600gt though....

Just for reference, its unplayable in DX9 mode with my 7800GT.

i'm guessing you're talking about tft native res? as mentioned earlier i have no such problem with my ye olde crt....
