Video card

[[AK]Nuts]

I'm looking at the 6600 as well (old ATI 9600 is showing it's age). Are you running BF2 with all settings maxed? How's she holding up?

I picked up a 6600 GT by MSI. I haven't been able to play much BF2 yet, but I'll post a review when I get deeper into the game.

I'm running at 1280 res with most detail settings currently medium and it's smooth as silk. I'm going to experiment with some settings tonight and see what I can turn up without sacrificing huge pieces of framerate.

I am going to have to get a new video card. My current Geforce4 Ti4200 does not support BF2. Bummer. So I am looking around for a good card at the right price. I am mainly looking for a NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT AGP. I have been hard pressed to find one that is not a PCI Express. If anyone has a lead on one would love a heads up on it.

Scroll up several posts and click on my 'BFG' weblink. That will bring you to a AGP version of the 6800. I got mine over at Best-Buy.

well i will chime in about my 9800 pro aiw , runs bf2 smooth until it crashes and reboots my system. This started happening with the demo, now with the retail release. Good times, it almost seems to be corisponding to keyboard input but who knows, its a major pita, I wasn't planning on buyin a new card as I suspected the 9800 would hold its own in bf2. I can't help but wonder if this is an nvidia thing, couldn't help but notice nvidea and creative adverts inside my dvd case... almost like a here is what you need to buy to play this game, now go and buy it you good little soldier. As much as Im upset about the problems Its still better than playing DC, I only hope that EA responds to the communities outrage.

Im using a 9800 Pro 128 and have never had a crash to desktop with the demo or the retail (all 1 night of it).

I'm running the game at 1024X768 with 85 refresh. All settings are at "medium" and my sound option is switched to hardware (why it defaults to software I have no idea) at high quality with EAX enabled.
