    is it possible to get BF2 to run on a GEforceFX 5200?

    my friend helped me piece together a PC and everything is up to speed but the graphics card.

    i heard there was a way to get it to work. any ideas?

    Possible, but it'll be slow and you have to run everything at LOW resolution (I've also disabled something to make it run bit faster, but can't remember what).

    I'm running it (sometimes, when I use that computer for gaming) at 800x600, and it's slow but playable. 1GB RAM, AthlonXP 2500+.

    Ah, the card is [whatever vendor] Geforce FX5200 64MB.

    Didn't do anything special to run the game, just installed mobo+gfx card drivers.

      Replace it with a card thats supported.
      Radeon X700 (PCIe)
      Radeon X600 (PCIe)
      GeForce 6600 (PCIe)
      GeForce PCX 5900 (PCIe)
      GeForce 5800 Series (AGP)
      ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition
      ATI Radeon X800 PRO
      ATI Radeon 9800 Series
      ATI Radeon 9600 Series
      ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350LX)
      ATI Radeon 9500 / 9700 Series
      ATI Radeon 8500 Series
      ATI Radeon X300 Series
      NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra
      NVidia GeForce 6800 GT
      NVidia GeForce 6800
      NVidia GeForce FX 5950 Series
      NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Series
      NVidia GeForce FX 5700 Series

      while theres newer cards that arent on that list, you'll notice the 5200 series is not there. I'm sure theres some way to make it run... but is it really worth it?

        o trust me, it runs fine, if u got a 5200 made by PNY, its runnable, and its survivable, note: it makes about 18fps, good enough for me, i can run/shoot kill wat ever, so im happy

          i have a geforce fx 5200 128 MB with 2.8 ghz and 1 gig of ram...

          i run bf2 medium terrain, medium geometry, and high textures. Everything else is low though.

            On 800x600 with less than 20 fps... I had the PNY 5200 and it could barely run BF1942 on high on 1024x768... no way in hell its running anything on high in BF2 with decent frame rates.

                  FX5200 will work, but why don't you just download the demo and see for yourself?

                    I play this game on Radeon 9200SE which is basicly the same as yours, all I can tell you is that you will run it everything on low and still won't get decent FPS.

                      guys, i have a P4 2.6mhz, intel 865mobo, 1024 ram PC3200 and of course the good oldmighty FX 5200 128mb, and i get like 20 + 25FPS playing with

                      textures: medium
                      geometry: Medium
                      terrain: low
                      lighting: low
                      shadows off
                      dinamic shadows: low
                      dinamic lighting: low
                      draw distance: 100

                      oh and u can use the BF2 tweak guide, u can find it on this forums, and trust me u can have a really good time playing with that video card, but as the wise DrunkenPirate told u, donwload the demo and give it a try man!!!

                      (im still waiting for my 6600 )
