Grats!
ya i found balanced is the best, it still looks pretty sweet though. i also play 1600X1200 i play all my games at that reso. i tried very high and it ran but if i were to run accross a a party i would prob get som lag.
Lucky bastard.
Nvidia is NOT the way it's meant to be played!
Radeon owns you!
Congrats on your...purchase?
hehe i got payed back money i loaned a family member thats how i got it
I hit about 55 FPS on High Quality with a 20-30% decrease in enclosed dungeons. I run a BFGTech 6800 GT, 1 gig of Kingston 3200 valueram, and an OC'ed 3.4 Ghz pent. IIII. My crowning joy is that I can hit 30 FPS on extreme in open areas and 40 FPS in water.

Im not sure why you would get a x800 pro, when the 6800 gt is far better in tests, and the x800xl is out and is cheaper and faster than a x800 pro.
I own the x850xt and man is this card a power house for EQ2 .I try post screenies of it sometime.
Though i have to agree the best card for performance/money is now the x800xl.It is very close to x800xt and better then the x800pro.
I have to say whenever i beginning to think nvidia is getting the upper hand in Gcard ,ATI seems to fire ahead.
I think i never doubt ATI again

Why? why? cause i like Ati. and far better is a couple frames per second oooooooooooo. and the x800xl AGP is the same price i payed, pci-e is the cheaper but alas i dont have pci-e.
but thanks for trying to rain on my parade.
and i just read some benchmarks, the x800rpo and 6800 gt were getting same fps in farcry and such so ya.

First of all, the X800 XL(16 pipelines) is faster than the x800 pro(12 pipelines)- if there the same price, which logicaly would you get? Hell, the x800 xl was made to compete with the 6800 gt because the x800 pro was losing its ass. Lets remember, the x800pro is cripled x800 xt, the 6800 GT is only a underclocked 6800 ultra. Second, check on any chart you will find that the 6800 gt is faster in most games(16 pipelines opposed to 12 pipeless) or pick up a pc gamer("the fastest x800 pro was no match for a stock 6800 GT"). WoW, frycry, really big.
I mean, who doesnt like to pay just as much as nvidia to get ATI's super cool crappy driver!?
