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....

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
