Graphics card+memory??

[menace-uk-]

I currently have a ATI 9600 Graph card and 512mb pc2100 ram

Now when i turn BF2 Graph settings all the way up except for AA it goes all laggy.

So is my Graph card or my ram making it lagg

I am getting 2gb of ram on monday so will i be able to turn the settings up with out lagg

Also my graph card will be upgraded next month sometime
But i want the best graphics and performance i can get till then

RAM..

2GB will improve things..but you won't be able to keep all settings on high with that card..it'll slow things down a bit.

yes i used to have 1 gig of ram and boy did i see a difference with 2 gigs, no more stuttering or lagg and i am able to load first. and also updating ur g card next month will be a great thing to do.

Yea exactly what they said, your RAM and vid. card need to be upgraded.

Just stressing that that vid card will do no more than all low... I wouldn't think 2 gigs would be necessary for all low, but at least you'll have it when you upgrade to a better gpu

So your saying my graphics wont be able to change even with the higher memory but i should get a lot better performance

Also is thw Connect3d x1300 or x1600 256mb graphics cards any good or is there a better card at a similar price

x1600xt is a pretty nice mid-range card
edit: but its not AGP... uhhh 6600gt is a good choice, and I can't find any reviews of the x1600pro being compared to the 6600gt

LOL i was just looking at a 660gt128mb card for £100 and i had a look at some test results from F.E.A.R/Half-life 2/call of duty 2/age of empires 3
and it is not far of the 6800 either so i think i might get the 6600gt

Thanks for the help guys:salute:

thats a good AGP card. it can play BF2 high settings with a good CPU and atleast 1 gb of RAM

6600GT outperforms X1600PRO in Elder Scroll:Oblivion so I assume it's the same for BF2.

Re: Graphics card+memory??

sooooo menace, what do you think? Are you gonna get the X850? Or something less expensive? Because I have a little cheaper solutions if you don't like the price tag. But I think the money is worth it, I currently have an X850XT thats pci-x and it runs bf2 on high very well, I'm sure AGP won't make that much of a difference.
