I use Nvidia cards for the most part and have been pretty happy with them. Nvidia has come out with a new driver that works very well with BF3(so i've been told) I have a Geforce GTX 460 se 1GB. (159.99 from Amazon) I've been very pleased with it. If you want to step up from that you cold go with the GeForce GTX 560 or the Redeon hd 6870, Both will run you around $180 and are good buys.

If you go Nvidia be sure to upgrade to the new 285.62 driver.

Something else to consider, depending on the model of your old card, is to make your old card a dedicated Physx card. I've never done it but have been reading about gamers that have and have gotten incredible frame rates from doing this.

Some of the more tech savvy guys here could expound on this more.

if you want to play it moderately well, this card will work in your budget http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150521 . Granted, you wont be able to max the game out unless you have a good processor to go with it, but you will still be able to get solid framerates at medium to high. I've got that card with an 1100T X6 processor and 4 gigs of 1600 Ram and I can max everything at 1080P resoulation (minus the AA) and get a steady 40-50 fps in campaign mode and slightly higher in most multiplayer maps....

PC is superior but this is why I prefer consoles most of the time. Not having to upgrade yearly to play the latest.

You don't have to upgrade yearly if you spend the money on quality parts the first time. Outside of adding ram, most of my builds last around four years or so....

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
