hi, I just recently purchased a BFG 6800GT. My first NV card. I formatted and installed the 66.93's. I ran Far Cry at very high with 4xAA\8xAF at 1152x864 res. My fps dipped to 20's-30's in outside areas, just wanted to know if this was "normal" or if anyone knows any better drivers, please let me know !

my setup is

-p4 3.4ghz
-2x256mb Corsair PC3500 DDR ram
-bfg 6800GT
-abit is7
 
with all the stuff turned on and at that res and with 4x AA and 8x AF it will happen. if it stays there though there is something wrong. if it just dips down there and goes back up you are fine.
 
When im at inside areas, my fps is around 50-80, but its when im outside, oh well I guess it is normal
 
You need more ram, 512 isn't enough for Far Cry, it might be hd swapping during those slow times. Anymore, 1 gig is now the minimum ram needed.
 
I totally agree on the RAM. I had serious fps issues, mainly stuttering and skipping. As soon as I upgraded to 1 GB the skipping disappeared. Get more RAM. You will be happy!
