Hi All,
I'm looking for a new graphics card to replace my Ati 9600 Pro. I've found that BF 2 doesn't play well with a large map (everything to medium - distance 100%), smaller maps are ok.
My PC has the following spec:
CPU - Athlon XP 2500+ Mobile - running at 2.4Ghz
Mobo - Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
Ram - 1Gb
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 120Gb SATA
OS - Win MCE 2005
A mate is going to lend me a 9800 Pro which has been reflashed to a 9800 XT and had a replacement heatsink fitted - what would be a fair price for this if I went with that?
The other card I'm looking at is a GeForce 6800XT. Maybe the XFX one - which make is the best?
As I've got MCE the nVidia one would also let me use the PureVideo Decoder with hardware support - would this be worth it? As this will probably be the last AGP card I get for my PC before going 64 bit I'd like to make it last as long as I can without spending a stupid amount on it.
I'm not sure which route to go down so any advise would be very welcome!
Cheers.

The 6800 or x800 would probably be your best bet if you're wanting to keep that rig for a while, though possibly consider getting extra ram? BF2 plays much more smoothly with 2gb apparantly, and memory prices are falling pretty quickly.
