I can not afford a 7800GT or GTX at this point but my dinky little 5200 forks fine for me at the moment.

One thing I liked about the 5200, is that it could run bf42 on maximum settings with no FPS drop.

It ran BFV like **** so I upgraded to a 6800, but aside from that it was a decent card until ATi release the 9700 pro.

Re: Graphics Card Drivers & Utilities

Hey the 7800 is a PCIe card,Meaning if you dont have a really new mobos made to accept the "express' card- chances r your mobos will not work with it.

Re: Graphics Card Drivers & Utilities

Praying someone replies to this pretty quickly. Didn't want to make a new thread because I'd probably get flamed.

See I'm completely computer illiterate, but have fun playing the battlefield series.

I had the game for about 2 months and it didn't work because I didn't have the right video card, and I just bought one (GeForce 6200) and it works, but with pretty average graphics compared to what I was expecting. When I put on high quality, it lags quite heavily.

But it says I'm to install a new driver by clicking on the option in the BF2 starter menu. But as I'm not connected to the internet on that computer, it doesn't quite work that way.

So I was wondering WHICH driver I need to download and take to my computer to give me the optimal graphics use for a GeForce 6200, running on a 512mbRam computer, 3.2GHZ. I don't know what that means, but I hope it helps someone come up with an answer.

Much appreciated!

Re: Graphics Card Drivers & Utilities

If you don't want to get down and dirty then the latest WHQL certified driver will work just fine for you.

I hope you did not pay too much for that card. The vast majority of the 6200's are TurboCache versions which basicly have 32Mb RAM working as a buffer (kinda), that gives you the apearance of 128Mb-256Mb (depending on the model). For about the same price you could get a low end 6600 with 128mb ram off the net. But, since you already have the card, the latest drivers can be found at www.nvidia.com

I think 78.01 is currently the latest version.

Re: Graphics Card Drivers & Utilities

So i just download the highest performer of them all? Not one that is like the same as my graphics card?

I don't understand any of this stuff, I just want to play a damn video game!

I'm going to stick to PS2's from now on.

Re: Graphics Card Drivers & Utilities

Here, I will make it easier. If you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP download this driver and install it.

WinXP/2k - (78.01)|NVIDIA

Re: Graphics Card Drivers & Utilities

~List updated.

Edit: DO NOT download the 81.26 beta release if you play bf2! The shadow bug seems to have returned in this version plus some other weird stuff. Here is a link to the Guru3d forum thread on this version for more information:

Re: Graphics Card Drivers & Utilities

I try to stay away from Beta's but thanks for the note. I am sure somebody would have tried those and started a complaint thread somewhere else. LOL
