Your GPU isn't bad at all honestly.... a ton better than mine and I run at medium with no issues, my CPU is also a ton worse... and I have less ram.

Do you have the latest drivers? Have you done a malware scan recently?

Are you able to run other games at a decent detail level or do you think it might be a PR/BF2 issue?

Your hardware is quite nice, I think you have a different problem.

ISP? alot of causes could just be traffic from ur exchange?

I remember when that card came out and people were trying to grab them up to run Quad SLI. BF2 back then was still considered a graphics hog. This card, however, is beyond 4 years old and you should probably replace it.

The 7950GX2 doesn't even max out vBF2, albeit at a very high resolution.

You can check around the forums for graphic card recommendations. My favorite card to recommend for people on a budget is the 9800GT. You can also look into the HD4770 or HD5770.

Win7 is dx11,your card is dx9 (directX).
You can either go back to XP and keep the card or get a dx11 card like 5770
(then 7xxx) or gtx460 (more $$$).DX10 cards (8800gt,4870,etc) will also work a lot better with win7.
