Hi,
I have the PNY 6800 with 128Mb ram.
3D is awesome. I can do Doom 3 maxed at 1024x768 with no slow downs. Graphics look great.
2D however is terrible. Can't get the card to show clean text at any resolution above 1024x768. At 1024x768 it isn't that great either. The text is blurry and doesn't look solid on my 19" CRT. It actually makes my eyes tired after 10 or 20 mins.
When compared with a GF 4200 that I have on another computer, the difference is obvious. The 4200 has great 2D and clean text at high resolutions. I tried the 4200 instead of the 6800 in my Doom 3 computer and the 2D looks great.
This is my second 6800 and I'm having this issue.
Is there something that I'm missing? For $300 I would think that a video card would have decent 2D. At least good enough so that it's not fuzzy up to 1200x1024.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
