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....

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
