Hi,
I'm wonder to see how my G5 Quad 2.5ghz it can't run the game flawlessly with many graphical restrictions. I play at 1920x1200, but:
- Anti-alias Quality: Low
- Shader Quality: Low
- Particle Quality: Low
- Terrain Texture Quality: Low
- Texture Filter Quality: Low
Surely the guilty it's the Nvidia 6600.
Anybody plays this game at the maximu quality with good framerate at 1920x1200?

I'm sure the 6600 is the problem. It was a budget graphics card even when it was brand new, and now it's going to have trouble keeping up.
I had sort of a hard time understanding your description but it seems as though you're having framerate issues even with all the effects low? Have you tried running it at a lower resolution? 1920x1200 is a lot of pixels to push. A lot of those graphical effects aren't going to have a huge amount of graphical overhead, but the resolution will. Try running it at a lower widescreen resolution and see how it runs and how it looks. You might be surprised at how good it looks even at a non-native resolution.

Do you have the 'real' 6600 or the 6600LE?

GeForce 6600, not LE.
Yes, the game gains in performace at lowest resolutions. What I need to play at 1920x1200? Ati X1900?

Try at 1600x1200. I've had better luck with that resolution in a lot of games.
