I'm still running on my old Geforce 7900 GS, which, even in DH, is lacking (only get like 30-40 FPS consistently on 1024x768!)
So I'm looking for a cheap mid range card to tide me over till I can get something real fancy for ROHOS... two games I have in mind are ARMA 2 (still not sure if I want to buy it...) and BFBC2 (which I'm pretty sure about). I don't need to play the latter on maxed out or anything, but I'd like a card that can handle medium settings on 1280 res.
Any suggestions?
Ideally something not more or much more than $100.
Also, not a hardware geek at all so I'm too knowledgeable about this, but is there a problem with bottlenecking since I'm running on a fairly old 6400 Intel Core Duo @ 2.13ghz and only have 2 gigs of ram? Should I be more concerned about upgrading my RAM or CPU than my video card?
thanks
