No it's bad, get a 6600 Nvidia or a 9800 radeon at least.

9250 is bad for BF2, you would play with mostly if not all on low, i have the 9550 and that is only on medium, with some still on low. Go for the 6600 or above or the x700 or above, depending on whether you got for ATI of Nvidia. These along with a 3000+ or 3.0 CPU and atleast 1GB of RAM should have half high if not all for the better cards and 2GB of RAM.

Look around on www.newegg.com they have some good deals on there.

NO way. I'd highly recommend atleast a 9600xt or 9800xt, if you go Nvidia go with the 6600gt. Save up and let us know what you want to spend, we may be able to find you something.

I've seen the 9200 series play bf2, and it can barely handle it. :dead:

Re: is this a good vid card to play bf2

The 9250 isn't supported at all. Tons of people have had problems with it.

Re: is this a good vid card to play bf2

Dont buy Geforce 6200 if you use AGP, its not supported so sometimes something disappears, like all the water for example. Happend to me....

You need at least a 9600 PRO or XT. I use the PRO AIW varient, myself, and it runs BF2 just fine with a few settings on high, nothing on low, 2X AA, when I OC it. Looks pretty good, too.

Because of the prices right now, though, I'd say if you're using AGP, you'd get the most bang for your buck with anything 9800 line.

I had that video card on PCI and its not supported. On AGP it's supported but it has terrible graphics.

Re: is this a good vid card to play bf2

I was checking your Gateway, I believe its a 3200S? Which is PCI Only. Its been a hell of a long time since I touched one but the FX5200 was a tight card...
