Sorry for creating maybe similar tread but i have real problem here
Just got my A-open 6600GT 128mb AGP8 & got problems already
i can play all games on 1024* but when i switch to 1280* NFSU2 for example it realy begins to lag,tried all drivers from 66. to 70.+ same thing,i even tried other mainboard but didn't change a thing,i'm thinking power supply is not good enough but i'm not sure
My specs;
p4 3ghz 512kb 800mhz
2*512mb samsung 3200 400mhz
Maxtor 80gb 8mb
DVDrw Nec 3520WA 16x
Creative SB24 live!
PSU Q-tec 450W
+5v 35a
+12v 16a
-5v 1.0a
-12v 1.0a
+3.3v 28a
+5v stand by 3.0a
before that i had 9800Pro 128mb & never had issues like that
any sugesctions will be much appreciate

sounds about right , 6600gt aint that powerful for playing at 1280 res , especially with a 3g p4
edit: but your right that psu is crap

Have you done anything in your BIOS? Could be Fastwrites ON/OFF or Aperture set to high or low...Also make sure your temp. is not off the charts.
Here is a good resource:

trust me i did everything that possible my temp idle-39C in 3d-45-50C
FW=off ApSize tried all of them from 64 to 256mb,today i picked up Enermax 350w +12=26a
same shit now i think that 6600 is busted somehow maybe memory or something
bios was untouched

well i think that review is bullshit , those numbers are way to high for a 6600gt running on a xp barton @ 2.2 , take there doom 3 test 1600 x 1200 8x aa 16 af it gets 41 fps , hardocp did some doom 3 benches using a 3.2 p4 and a 6800gt 1600 x 1200 with only 4x aa and 8 x af and got 36.3 fps and the 6800 gt is quite a bit better then a 6600gt and hardocp does good reviews , and with farcry they got 46fps 1024x768 8xaa 16 af , hardocp used a pcie card and 3500 amd 64 1024 x 768 2x aa 8 x af and got 43 fps , so that review looks pretty off the mark to me
edit : http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzMzLDg=
they got around 45 fps on a pcie card and 43 on a agp card in nfsu2 @ 1024x768 , so bumping it up to 1280 x 1024 would make it pretty laggy especially on a p4 3.0 as hardocp was using a 3500 amd which is a lot better for gaming
for comparison i have a x700 pro in one of my systems which they have in hardocp review and when i had that in my dual core amd 64 @ 3.1 ghz it ran games 1280 x 1024 very badly and it was only a few fps off the 6600gt in that review

ive never have any problems with the GT6600, not in NFSU 2 either. But I have had several problems with Qtec PSU's in my shop, they suck really! They are the black sheeps of Powersupplies, i would try to swap that out if i was you..

i have a qtec 550w in my file server with 6 hard disks , 2 dvd drives , 2.4 p4 and ti4600 and its never gave me a problem , but the voltages on it are quite low so i wouldnt use it for a gaming rig , but there within exceptable levels
