sorry, late reply
your sound card was sharing the same IRQ. if you can set it in your bios thats easy. if not, then you'll have to try installing one first, then the other. since your soundcard is out, your luck should be with this install. it can share without any errors. go to control panel/system/hardware/device manager/view-resources by type/Interrupt request (IRQ) to check it windows. on some IRQ share problems with video cards in low settings it will only cause VOIP problems for the sound card. good luck

You won't believe me when I say this but...

I just installed the new eVGA 7900GTX 512mb, and I can't get BF2 to run on ANY SETTING! Let me lay out all the details...

My setup:
Dual 3.6 Xeon Processors
3GB RAM
Two 250GB 7,500rpm Hard Drives
eVGA 7900GTX 512mb
Dell 21" Widescreen (1680x1050)

My Test in BF2:
I got my new 7900GTX installed in my computer, fired everything up, updated the drivers with the latest update, defragged my computer, ran spyware on my PC to ensure it's as clean as it can ever be, as well as removed all old drivers of my previous graphics card...

Fired up BF2, went into the settings and ramped everything up in the settings to HIGH with 4xAA, and set the resolution to 1280x1024.... Went into a single player online game to test the graphics that I was beyond excited to see....and it was so choppy I couldn't even get my weapon selection / spawn map pulled up!!

So...I went back to the menu...lowered the resolution to 1024x768 with MEDIUM SETTINGS and NO AA... Went into a single player online game, and GOT THE SAME RESULTS!

So...I then uninstalled BF2 Completely from my system, did yet another defrag, reinstalled it and applied the latest update...ran it again....and got the SAME RESULTS.

Something is seriously screwed up here and I have no clue what it is. I've checked everything and all is clear.... am I missing something!??!? This is starting to freak me out, being as I just dropped all this money on this new card and I can't even RUN BF2! Sucks big time :cry:

Hope someone can save my day. I can't go to bed until this is fixed.... and it's 2:00am

can you play other 3d games?

what version is the driver? get the latest...

i saw this somewhere else, maybe jofaba posted it, but try removing one of your gigs of ram so you now only have 2 gigs, i heard bf2 doesn't run well with that much ram, it may not be optimized for dual channel if you have 3 gigs
