    If you've got the money and want to play games like Crysis (DX10 and Next Generation games) then I would wait and buy a new PC.

    But if you only want to play BF2 and current games (Which are still fun!! In my opinion) Then I would go for a 7600GT it's a bit more pricey as the GS but not much I think.

    Also what's good to check out (What I always do) is check a lot of reviews of a component before buying. Just google ' 7600 GT Review ' or ' 7600 GS Review ' Just a example.

        Braheem, places like circut city and bestbuy will overprice every comp hardware thing they have. So it would be wise to buy from newegg.

        For less than $125 i would go for this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130017

        For $155 this would be a great card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130056

        If you can strech your budget to $170 then get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102061

        The best option would be to get the X1950 pro, then save up for another 1gb of RAM.

        NOTE: Both these cards can run BF2 maxed out, but you will need atleast 1.5gb of RAM to play all high. With 1gb of RAM you will have to put textures and lighting on medium.

              Firstly, Return the card and buy a 7900GS of of newegg for the same price.
              Secondly, did you uninstall the old drivers and install new ones?

                      Or live the rest of your life with a bag over your head (at least in the video gaming world), and you don't want that. You have no idea where that bag has been and what's been in it.

                        With your old card in, un-install the old drivers. Then shutdown your computer, put in your new card, turn on your comp, download the new ones, and install them.

                        If you care about your money and performance, return your card now and order off newegg.
