I need a good graphics card that will allow me to play bf2 very well. What do you guys use?
I need a good graphics card that will allow me to play bf2 very well. What do you guys use?
I run an ATI Radeon x300 (not that good unless you like all low settings and 25 FPS!), but I've heard word that the 7600's and up can run it well.
I'd suggest a 7900GT for you. That should give you great graphics and FPS to spare.

i have a ATI Radeon 9200 atm and run bf2 on lows/mediums
all depends on you budget, although the x1900xt's are going pretty cheap lately for 299 i believe, which is a damn good deal, but the 7900gt is nice too.
i run an x800xt with 2 gig of system ram, and can run most everything on high with turning some lighting/dynamic shadows to low/medium, and get about 50-70fps on most maps, down to about 40 on crowded maps.

im n ot paying that much for a 7900GT, im in the uk and its £260 I just want something that will let me play warlord and get a little better graphics
Up until last weeknd i was running an agp x800pro and it ran fine, with some stuff turned down to medium (ran fine with both 1 or 2 GBs of Ram). Switching to pci-e i got a 7950gx2 which everything smashed to the top with ease.
I am the very happy new owner of a The NVIDIA® GeForce® 7950 GX2
Not a 256 0r a 512.... it's a GIG graphics card! it's pritty chunky, but it
has 2 processors in it.
I run BF2 at all it's maximum.... and ready for Vista and the next gen games like Crysis.
Plan ahead and get something good now!

I am running (2) 6600GT in SLI and I am getting great performance and great FPS. I have all the settings turned up to max and am running 4X anti-aliasing and no issues to speak of and great resolution. My recs are to get a good graphics card w/at least 256MB vid memory and you should be able to run BF2 very smoothly. I would recommend anthing from the Nvidia side 6600 series and up. On the ATI side I would recommend the X1300 and up series the 1300 series would be best suited for someone on a budget and still wanting better performance.
Sounds awesome, what system u running that on??, and how much for the card??Aust1mh wrote:

If the 7900GT is too expensive then go for the 6800GT, no need to go down to the 6600GT.
Some of you guys really need to read up on how graphics cards work. The amount of memory that they have usually doesn't mean anything. Its chipsets, pipelines, GPU and RAM clk frequencies, and other stuff that matter. Go here and read the 3 "Beginners Guides to GFX Cards":

Dude, spend some time reading this page. . .

There is a bunch of good information if you spend the time digging around. You are better of informing yourself and finding the best thing for you.
Some stuff around the 200 dollar mark here in the U.S. is :
X1800XT
X1900GT
X850XT
-or-
7600GT
7600GS
6800XT
Good luck, U.K. Prices are just jacked up from the already inflated U.S. Prices, I feel for your pain. I had to get some parts when I was in Leeds last year, YE-OUCH!!! But check out that website. Information is more helpful than any forum.

There is no card out right now that has hardware which can support DX10..
yea so buying any top end DX9 card atm would be pointless if DX10 cards are gonna be much better, for the same pricepoint...
I'm getting 25 fps with my ati radeon 9200 oc'd, so its crap lol
I'm getting a new computer with either a 7800 or a 7900GT in it.
