BF2 & gfx card

[yoda954]

I currently have a GF4200 64meg which is unable to play BF2.........any suggestions for a replacement (approx £100-£150) that will run the game & provide a little future-proofing as well as being relatively fool-proof as I'm hopeless at tweeking & keeping up to date with drivers?

TIA :)

I bought a Nidia 5700 (256MB) for £150 at Pc world a year ago and now need to upgrade for BF2.

looking at a 7800GFX

but for £150Max I would try the a 6600 or 6800 nvidia graphics cards. if you are lucky. If you can stretch to £250 go for the 6800Unltra. Highly recommeded

Thanks remal - should I worry about PCI Express being mentioned regarding a card ie: http://uk.shopping.com/xPF-VGA_LEADTEK_GF_PX6800TDH_256M_RT

I'm no PC wizard, so don't want to get anything that won't fit my moboard and would the above be worth a look?

sorry can help their. I only know about graphics cards as I am looking at what spec PC i need.
But when I upgraded My GC last year I just swaped them over. But that may not be the same with newer GC
This may also help you

your motherboard will need an agp card. you cant run pci express without a new motherboard

either get a 6600 or an ati x800 maybe

bf2 benchmarks for different cards are here
