New graphics card

[_K-I_]

This is the card I want to play Battlefield 2 with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102535. Now what I want to know is will this card run Battlefield 2 and if so, how well?

I can almost guarantee, that card won't work. Your going to look to spend alot more the 50 dollars, I know that this is bad news but its better news then buying a crappy card and a game that doesn't work!

Here is a card that WOULD Work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127179

This one would fit your budget but won't work as well:

Good Luck,

I support the X800pro. But that is around 249$

Or get the 9800pro, 9700, or newer nVidia cards.

radeon 9550SE? I think it might work after all. As long as the pixelshader thing is fulfilled. I think the needed pixelshader is 1.3 or 1.4 right? This cause abit of hoo haa for the Nvidia Ti4200 users who cant play the game becoz of this pixelshader thingy.


anyway check if the 9550 fulfilled the wanted pixelshader. Check the requirements of bf2. Of coz, even if it works, i think u have to run at very low settings.


u get what u pay. So if u have the dole to spend, get a good card like those recommended but shell out more money

gee im not sure why WOW_reel2reel claim that both 6600 and R9550 wouldnt work.

Anyway look at this:

WHile it aint a beast, i have run BF2 on a 9550. You just have to make sure the rest of your rig can take the rest of the load. I have no idea why you suggest a 6800 PCI-E to a guy that is obviously both using agp and has a low budget. I think maybe a 9700 of 9800 would be a better option, but if that is all you can afford, then it shouod work (but on lower res and quality)
