I was wondering anyone could tell me if there was something I am just not getting. I just upgraded from an evga 6600gt to a bfg 6800gtOC. The visual quality and game play experience is completely the same. With the 6600gt I can play HL2 and Doom3 at high quality no AA/AF and get a good visual quality, and gameplay has minor stuttering/hitching in both games (playable but annoying at times). I wanted to have a solid gameplay experience so I forked out $420 for the upgrade and I have noticed absolutely 0 difference. Same issues at the same settings. Call me a crazy noob but was I expecting too much for just wanting to use 2 or 4 AA/AF and have completely smooth gameplay?
By the way - I have had to RMA the first BFG OC purchase (completely DOA), and they sent me a card clocked at 350/1000. Now going through 2nd RMA for a properly clocked card. Luckily they have let me hold onto the 350/1000 card until the new one arrives.
would appreciate any input.
