have a 8800gt collecting dust in third rig, to lazy to pull it out, to swap my 9600gt, just making a point on how close performance is to both cards

i7 70-100 fps is on the low side, hell i get higher with my p2 setup 70 to 150fps

8800gt = 112 shader cores vs 96 on 9600GT. That's ~10% in performance.

well that maybe true Ive ran test with both cards to know, thing is my 8800gt is a bad overclocker, 700/1750/2000 vs 9600gt 760/1950/2300 some games 780/2050/2300 so in theory it makes up for 10% loss

I guess I just dont have the patience to play one weapon... even when it works. I have been switching between the m4, m16, and an-94 after each star I earn.. I'd like to plat all three in the same day.

Because the weapon unlock system is poorly conceived and implemented. You can unlock everything in the game before lvl 25 with little effort.

Yea they should have shortened the amount of points needed for the ranks and added more unlocks at higher levels. hell im a lvl 35 (almost 36) and each rank required 175K to 200K to advance :twitch:

during map changes, you should be able to see how many points you need to get them under the unlock progression tab

I was going to use this card for Physx but it doesnt have it. i thought all 8xxx series cards had physx

All 8800's can do phsyx. It's just that BC2 doesn't use physx.

This card is a 8400GS and with the latest drivers, physx doesnt show up in the nvidia control panel and it on GPUz the box is not check marked

Ah they updated the specs for physx and I don't think that card is supported now. I thought you meant 8800GT.

I was doing some research and it was saying i might could use it if i downgrade to 178.21 drivers
