Good card for playing bf2?

[thomas49th]

Hi, im on the search for a good card under £60 (p&p & vat included) for playing bf2 on medium settings @ 1024x786 res. I need it to be in a PCI-E port, or PCI (NOT AGP). Will this card be good:

AOpen Aeolus 6600GT-DV128 PCI-Express 128MB DDR3 with TV-Out - Retail Box

Thankyou


P.S My processor is amd atholon 3200, 512 RAM (soon to be 1gb). Should I get an extra fan/heatsink?

try getting the 7600gt. doesnt cost alot more. if not, then the 6800.

 

[thomas49th]

but will 6600gt be good for bf2?

 

[borat_sagdiyev]

yeah but not on very good settings.

also depends on your other specs. please list them.

Uumm..6600, at medium settings for BF2, is pushing it. As john said, what are your other specs?

Ar, you are in the UK, yeah? Where abouts?

Im trying to build a cheap system to play modern games on medium settings. The parts are coming for my pc on tuesday, except graphics card which I still need to find...

EDIT: I dont need dynamic light or shadows on bf2. But i will be using HDR on CS:source, DOD:source

My Pc runs bf2 on medium settings (not dynamic lighting and shadows) on medium settings @ 1024x786 with ATI RADEON 9550!, but i have 2gb DDR, P4 3.4ghz

EDIT2: I live worchestshire

get either the 7600GT or 7900GT. I have the 7900GT and highest settings are awesome.

6600GT will get you the lowest settings.

A good card, for under £60, that can run BF2..uumm..

How come you don't go for an AM2 processor?
