what cryman was that post for?> to starty somethinG? are did I tackle the question? you got beef with me? then shut up and dont even try start
BF2 is VERY POORLY OPTIMIZED
i think it might actually be true that to play it on max settings at 1280x1024 AND keep 50fps, u need an 8800GT
serously
my 7800 chokes like crazy when i have it maxed at 1280x1024. my processor also sucks, but still, my processor was like PWNAGE back when the game was new- doesnt that tell u something about its optimization?
i mean, how come HL2 runs so well on my machine maxed out but BF2 runs so awfully? their graphics levels are about the same
This setup is realllly low budget, and honestly not that powerful (besides the card), but it will guarantee 30+fps on ALL Last-generation games at high resolutions like 1680x1050 and 1920x1200
i'd say screw it and build a proper gaming PC (Q6600 OC'd to 3GHz, 4GB DDR2-8, 8800GT or 2), but if you're REALLY on a budget and you really just wanna play those old games, go ahead.
the NVIDIA 9-series' specs look seiorusly disappointing because they're like the exact same as the 8-series, but i wouldnt judge'em until Tomshardware acutally benchmarks them.
when i build my machine later this year, ill prob get a 9-series (9800GTX or GT)
Did he say he would be overclocking? I can't remember. If the OP did, then the E2160 that umakemebetter suggested is a good choice. If however, you won't be OC'ing then something like the 4000+ X2 is better.
