excuse me, but this is pure bullshit man. With the X800Pro your buddie will not be able to run BF2 maxed out, with your 4000+ and 7800GTX you are able to. X800Pro only supports shader 2.0 technology, your 7800GTX is at least five steps ahead of this card. Come on!GetOuttaMyChopper1 wrote:
My roomate has a AMD computer I built for him 3 years ago with a X800Pro, BF2 ran like crap, and that was a $400+ video card when it was new. He just recently got a new motherboard and a E6400 Core 2 Duo. Same video card, same DDR3200 Ram. His BF2 is now capped at 60FPS which is the Vsync and never drops below that. It is so smooth, and it looks better than my 7800GTX and 4000+ AMD. BF2 need raw CPU power to keep the framerates up.
yea i just ignored that stupid post all together. i think another point is the amt of ram he has. i think it may be more beneficial to purchase 2gb of ram at this point than up grading the card.Sl4y3r wrote:

And to the topicstarter:
yeah, this card will run BF2 but under average settings. 1024x768 with everything on medium, no lights, AA, AF etc. Dont go for it, if you already have a AGP 8X 6600GT 128MB, even if it´s cheap. Safe some more money and go for the suggeste 7600GS 256MB at least, better for the 7600GT 256MB. Will also fit for upcoming games.
