GTX or GTS?

[helmutcheese]

I do agree with crap FPS in Lost Planet on 8800Ultra with 1600x1200 all settings as high as they can go and Driver set to High Quality and Supersampling AA.

I have no clue how he gets good FPS at 1900x1200.

I knew about the patch but it did not say much apart from online/multi fixes, hmm.

And from what i've heard Bioshock runs amazing with max detail too.

Not sure about the max detail. The only report i've seen is with a quad core processor, 4Gb of ram and a 8800 GTX where it was stated it ran well with only the occasional framerate stutter.

No mention of resolution or whether it was on the highest settings.

I bet you your GTX that it will not be able to run at 1920 x 1200 with all the settings maxed out to highest quality

I have to say i've not got many of the games you listed. I do have Oblivion, NWN2 and call of duty 2. Generally when i install a game i just go into the graphics settings and set the highest possible of everything at 1920X1200 and it's always just 'works'. AA etc in most games doesn't seems to do much for visuals so i do tend to just leave that alone. With the latest patch installed for COD2 i seem to have trouble with the likes of AA etc, it doesn't like to be set with AA. I dunno, i think its a Vista 64 thing as when i first installed COD2 on Vista64 all i could see when i started a game was opaque fog! I did resolve this issue though but i can't remmeber how.

Thats why, coz you dont have any AA, I wish I did not need AA, then my 2900 would not be far from a GTX in a game at high res with no AA.

no AA = not on max quality settings

QED

I game at 1440x900 and i can not for the life of me tell any difference with or without AA

Thats very unusual, with AA disabled, you should deffenitly notices lots of jaggys in games with no AA comapred to say 4xAA.

Some sort of AA must be enabled if you have no jaggys at all.

That depends on the game. For example 'Lord Of The Rings Online' actually looks much better with low AA compared to high AA. Odd But true
