It'd be a peice of crap, probably as quick as a powerpoint slideshow with all the effects turned to low or off. You can't really get a good card to play BF2.

Upgrade your motherboard so you can buy a decent graphics card. Oh, and don't buy a Dell EVER again.

Depends on what sort of 5500 you have. Be about the same I would have guessed, but maybe slower if its using PCI bandwidth.

Not by much...really. It'd be around the same as an FX5600-FX5700

No matter what DO NOT pay that much for the card. Buy from an online store, retail stores rip you off.

I don't know if the card will even work with BF2 as it's PCI, NOT PCIe. To the OP, do you know what model your computer is?

And yeah, it's crap and super-overpriced at bestbuy. Don't buy it

I don't doubt it. But then again your definition of "plays BF2" is probably quite different than mine.....

i can deal with it on low, but you guys think it would be laggy or anything?

Re: BFG GeForce 6200 PCI OC 256 MB Graphics Card

It would probably be laggy, and you'd have to play it at low resolution.

Let me put it this way. It'd be like hiring a really hot looking hooker and paying for the full works, but instead you'd end up holding her hand and getting a kiss on the cheek.

mtx, just post your computer model and I'll find a nice card for less than $150

edit: for the card. my service of finding it is free

If you really don't know the model of your computer, just do this, it takes like half a minute

Or you could download CPU-z, and tell us what it says under "Mainboard"
link for cpu-z here: http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-136.zip


what we're looking for is the manufacturer and model

Uhhhh. He can only get PCI. You can find a good PCI card period, let alone for $150?

He might have a board that supports AGP or PCIe...
