I'm running a BFG 6600OC (overclocked), definitely a decent card. Still have to turn off the grass in oblivion but I can run at 1280 X 1024 with no troubles and all the toys on. Prolly could turn the grass back on with 2 gig of ram but right now I only got the one. -----------------------

fact: the 6600 regular is better than the GT as a software clock is available to turn it into the equivelent of the 6800.
i paid ú70 for my 6600

its not hardware overclocking in the sense you think it is. the card is perfectly capable of running as a 6800, the card is just bottlenecked and sold as a cheaper version. there was a big news thing over it a few months ago as they stopped the release of the card to bring out the 6800, everyone bought them and then they re-released the 6600 series so people wouldnt buy the cheaper versions and remove the bottleneck. mainly because two software-clocked 6600s in SLi were perfectly capable of standing up to the newly relesaed 7800 GTX beasts that are about ú400 a cop. its thier underhanded way of making you spend ú400 on something that you can mimic perfectly for ú140. (maybe a little extra for an sli motherboard, but like an extra ú20 or something)

Um, what are you talking about?
The 6600 doesn't even have DDR3 memory, which automatically makes it about 2 times worse than the 6600GT.
You can't magically turn DDR1 into DDR3.
Speeding up the GPU on a 6600 will not make it much faster at all, because the memory is the bottleneck.

THe 6600GT uses DDR2. Specs; Core: 500mhz Memory: 450mhz (900mhz) // Memory Bandwidth is 16.0 GB/s
How is that bottlenecking on Oblivion??
As for full graphics on Oblivion at 1280x1024 I'm running it nicely with the following:
P4 2.8 (prescott) 2x 1gb Dual Channel 400mhz (800mhz effective) ATI x850PRO agp (core:560mhz mem:615[1230mhz effective])
I paid 180.00 USD for my gfx card in December. I am using the giant Zalman 100% copper fan with copper heat sinks on the BGM chips. Clocked at these settings I rarely see it go above 55c.
*EDIT: Just wanted to comment that my current card is a replacement since the first one was fried after about 30 minutes in once of EVE's hangars. heh Wanted to test it and hadn't noticed the stock hsf on the ATI cards were crap, hence the Zalman!!

Edited by: CyanideX on 13/04/2006 10:34:40 Ive been using an fx5200 for the last year or 2, and have always had to run games on low-med settings on 640*480. Have a 6600Gt coming in a few days, hope it does well, especially on oblivion.

OMG!
After posting that I oc my ATI x850pro with little issues I went home and after 30 minutes of gaming I noticed it was 65c!! 
Luckily I had a can of air handy and about 10 minutes later I was back to < 55c although I was sneezing for about 45 minutes!! 
Current OC on the ATI850PRO agp: 573 613[1226] . Stock is 500 / 500. After 1 hour in Oblivion with FULL graphics I had the temp steady at 52c.

I bought a 6600GT for about ú60 I think. Only the 128Mb one though.
Its a sweet upgrade from the Geforce 4 MX440 that I had.
Now I can't get near my PC cause the kids are playing all the games that wouldn't quite run properly before LOL.
