Was so excited to see the new medal of honor released.. until I realised my computer does not meet the minimum spec!
Currently its a 3500 (939), 2GB ram and a 6800.

So i went out and bought a Opteron 175 (939) which ill be overclocking :) my ram is fine. But I need a new graphics card!!

What out there that should see medal of honor airborne run fairly well in my setup? Not looking to spend huge amounts, budget £100?

Opinions?
 
Well the recommended graphics card is a 6600, so your 6800 should still run it fairly well, especially if you overclock it a bit. I wouldn't use an 8600GT, it's a pretty bad card.

If you need a new one for your new setup though, look at either the Radeon X1950Pro or the GeForce 8600GTS. Both around the same price. The X1950Pro is a much faster card, but doesn't support DirectX 10 as the 8600GTS does.

This factory overclocked 8600GTS might be a good option:

The X1950Pro has 256MB more VRAM than the 8600GTS though, which you'll definitely want if you're using a like a 20" or 22" monitor.
 
I googled airborne specs and ran a test and it came u saying graphics card failed. It is a 6800, believe this is the exact model AOpen Aeolus PCX6800Ultra-DVD256.

Ill download the demo and see if it will work with current graphics card before buying a new one then.

Looking on some british sites the 8600gt is a good price and the 8600gts is just over.. is there a big performance increase between these two?
 
well lets just assume my 6800 wont work with it (or itll run like a dog)

whats my best bet then?.. 8600GT is not good... 8600GTS is over budget. What else is out there? ATI equiv's?
 
i cant beleive it only needs a 6600gt to play medal of honor air borne the graphics in the game are so good............i thought the minimum requirment would be 7300gt or better.
