I currently have an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good,budget video card that can work with BF2 while not costing hundreds of $$$$. (if you need more info i can post more) Anyone? Thanks
get the 6200 Oc gfx card its mabe by nvida and u can play bf2 on high with that card u wont get any lag as long as u have 1 GB of ram or more linkie here http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1108124982622 u can get them for about 80 bucks just got to go to the store and if u have a pci e card shot get the 7300
ultra low end: radeon 9250 or GeForce 5500(more or less tied) low-end GeForce 6500 or radeon 9550 perhaps... not entirely sure can't tell you haven't looked into this much mid-low end: X800GTO... love how prices came down... great card still http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingRe...N82E16814102691 6600GT (not as good for the $ as x8000GTO) mid end Geforce 7600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814150140 mid-high end x1800XT GeForce 7900GT ultra-high end... you're being ripped off don't bother... toss two mid-high end cards in sli/crossfire for better results.. if you have an AGP slot though you're pretty much f'ed everything has migrated to PCI-e, best bang/$ AGP cards are... radeon 9550, more expensive x800GTO, 6800GS, 7800GS This post has been edited by xelink: Today, 04:45 PM ============================== 6200 is absolute ---- don't bother with it. also vram doesn't matter for ---- with this list all to much as all the low cards don't need more than 128megs fo vram to play games at their optimal settings while the higher end ones on'y come in higher verieties... also the 7300 is ---- too. for about 100 you should be able to get a 6600GT or a 6800... emphasis on the GT part of the 6600, the 6600GT performs more or less identical to the standard 6800.
Thanks xelink, that helps alot I don't know much about video cards but this is gonna help me choose better
whats your budget and do you have a PCI-e or a AGP slot? run cpuz to determine such http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php I can recomend an exact card...
BF2 was made for NVIDIA. dont buy anything else. i have a 6800GTOC its an amazing card. bth once u get BF2 join my squads server 64.34.214.6
don't give me that ----, the x1000 series performs more or less on par with the 7xxx series excelling in some areas falling in others and when comparing the x800 series to the 6800s it's fairly even as well save for the fact that doom III really didn't like ATis last gen solicon.
i play Bf2 i got a gig and half of ram and a 6600GToc by BFG it the best 6600 AGPcard u cna get and i can't run it on high it laggs 2 much i used 2 run on highbut not now i go 2 www.NewEgg.com they never let me down and they have great cheap prices
x800gto, 1gbram, 2.2ghz amd 3800x2 cpu = no lag of course I coulda gotten something better if prices were lowered before I got screwed!
I can tell you one thing, BF2 does not run well on a: Athlon XP 3000 and Asus N6600.... lol. it runs fine on low settings, but thats about it...
actually i know a lot about that game, being the leader of one of the best clans in the game... the game is ment for nvidia cards.. since the 1.2 patch all ATI cards halfed in FPS... their still not able to fix it yet. the X1000 series does work well but i garuntee you that my 6800GS will work identical to an X1800 in bf2, any other game mine would get out-performed but in bf2 no. your best bet for a card is the X800XL refurbished... or the 6800 refurbished.
