i am currently in the market for a new graphics card as the one which i have now can only just come with playing the game on single player and becomes extremely difficult when online. I am getting 512 up 128 down speed broadband within the next two weeks and would love to be able to play the game properly when i do. i have a few friends who play and one is saying to me to go with an ATI because they are cheaper than nVidia (as he has an ATI) while the other is saying to go with nVidia because BF2 is optimised fro their cards and will therefore perform better.
I don't have much knowledge of the technical sides of the computer world and as a consequence cannot work out what makes one card better than the other.
I am looking at either an nVidia 6800gs (approx $300) or an ATI radeon x800xl (approx $250) and all prices are in australian dollars.
Any suggestions for which to go for would be much apreciated as i am seriously confused about it and don't want to waste my money on a card which isn't as good as the other. If you could include the reasoning for which card you are suggesting i would also be very grateful and if there are other cards out there for around $300 australian (or whatever that is in you currency) that would be great
Cheers
