Returned my old vid card

[Fuxy_Muxy]

ok so well this computer that im typing on is gonna be my dads...and he will be getting a new one instead of this one im typing at. So basically we are getting a better computer for the "family" . Well im gonna get some money back from my 6600 GT (AGP) card i just returned and was wondering, my new computer (a1130n) and it has a PCI-e port...im new to PCI-E and was wondering whats a good card for my budget that will run BF2 and more games just fine (medium to high)...my budget is around 200 or less...
o yeah, im gonna find out how good the card inside my new computer (that i will get soon) will run before i buy a new one though. Its like an integrated x200 PCI-E

Thanks

6600GT<6800~X800

Also the 6800 can be unlocked to more pipelines, and another vertex shader.

^ 6800<x800<6600gt

^ 6800<x800<6600gt

6600GT is not higher than the 6800nu. Especially unlocked.

[Fuxy_Muxy]

well what do you guys think i should get?

[BombSquad]

I would get this, SAPPHIRE Radeon X800 256MB

Good company, great card, and beats the 6800 and 6600GT.

The best "bang for buck" PCI-E graphics card just now is the Radeon X800 PRO. It is only just more expensive than the nVidia 6600GT, but it is way faster.

Integrated is useless and will not run bf2.

Another useless statement from someone that knows jack. Your integrated X200 will run BF2, I know because I have the same PC. NOTE, your PC only has a 300 watt power supply, which should be fine for a 6600GT but not for a 6800GT. If you look at newegg they normally tell you the recommended power supply for each card.

Also, to find out how video cards compare when playing BF2, check out the anandtech comparisons of video cards:

The X800 or X800 Pro if you can afford it. X800XL for 280 if you were smart.

I think that by saying that integrated cards won't run Battlefield 2, it isn't meant literally... he probably just means that it wouldn't run the game very well at all, which is likely true.

The X800 or X800 Pro if you can afford it. X800XL for 280 if you were smart.

Nah, there's an even better deal.... an ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition (refurbished) for only $229.... can't get better than that.
