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 used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
