New graphics card for BF2:PR?

Post by Jman234 »

Currently I have a onboard ATI Radeon 4200 card and it only allows me to play with some settings on medium and low and I'm looking for a new card around the $100 price range that will make it able for me to play Project Reality with most everything on high.

System Specs:
AMD Athlon II X3 435 Processor ~2.9 GHz
Windows 7 64 Bit
Mushkin 2 GB RAM
1440 x 900 Resolution monitor
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H Motherboard (PCI Express 2.0 x16)
585 Watt PSU

When I am looking for upgrades I check with this site: PassMark Software - Video Card Benchmark Charts

I think this comes closest to yours (is it maybe a mobile edition?)
PassMark Software - Video Card Benchmarks - Video Card Look Up

Then I'll go and see which of those cards are sold by my favourit local reseller.

"Hello, IT! ... Yes, have you tried turning it on and off again?"

Is that a laptop?

If not, then I can talk with you.... otherwise laptops aren't anything I would want to talk about

I'm asking because SnipingCoward brought up that it might be a mobile piece.

Best bang for your buck

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-R485ZL-512H Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

As I've said for that card before, Can't really beat it's Performance-Price Ratio. It'll play PR on Max np.

Funny, I was looking at that earlier and already saved it in my bookmarks. Thanks for confirmation that it will run on max though. I'm most likely getting this.

Make sure your power supply has a 6 pin connector or an adapter.
