Don't touch that. Thats basically a really stripped down 6800 NU. A 6600GT outperforms it by quite a bit.

Edit: Whats your budget? And i'm surprised this thread hasn't been moved yet lol.

for only 15 bucks more too...but, if 130 is your absolute limit, then that card you are looking at is not bad, considering I was about to recommend you a regular 6600 .

MSI NX6600GT VTD 128MB $250 CAN

Here are some 1600x1200 screenshots from BF2 on this card.



Notice the FRAPS number. In heavy firefights the FPS may dip low to 20fps on this res, but the average is about 45-60fps.

Songhua runs very nicely, though bigger maps may cost fps, especially when firing rockets at a chopper.

Otherwise, for that setting (MEDIUM all, LOW on dynamic lighting/shadows to accomodate close infantry combat), its pretty damn good.

Re: is a 6600 good enough to play bf2...?

I play on a Toshiba Qosimo laptop with a 6600 in it. I just use the default medium setting at 1024x768 and it plays just fine. On high it can get a little choppy at times but is still playable.

I would think on a desktop a 6600 GT which has a higher clock rate and more than likely would be a 256mb card as opposed to the 128m in my laptop would be able to play on high setting without the chop.
