Nvidia 6200 128mb AGP card and BF2

[w1z4rd]

Does anyone know if this card should or should not work with BF2? I went and bought it for my girlfriend so she could play BF2, she said she did the install today of BF2, but when the game loads up, the splash screen appears then the whole game just shuts down.

Is this just BF2 been BF2, or is this graphics card not going to work?

It should work by all means. Test it in some other games as well.

dude if it works with a fx5500 well thats what i used to have and it worked well i haer from rainy that it doesnt anymore but hey feral plays on a fx 5700 so there si no reason that a 6200 shouldnt work for any reasons

Problem with the 6200 AGP versions is that the memory bus is always limited to 64 bit.

I've got a 6200 PCIe in my work machine - works like a bomb. It can run at my native LCD panel res 1280x1024 w/ custom settings - most high, some medium.
Game runs very nicely (1.2).

Interesting, what CPU? I'm running a 6600 at 1280x1024 and struggle to run at anything higher than LOW, but with a view distance set to 95%

go for 6600 rather. It's little bit more bucks and bit more perf

[BambisRevenge]

sosman its not for wizard its for his gf and he already baought it

One other thing - I see you use a view distance < 100 Doobi ... Why ???

As I understand, you should ALWAYS set this to 100 ...

[doobiwan]

Performance. I guess I should try bump it up, will do as soon as power is stable enough to play :mad:

[Bass]

This can disadvantage you if < than 100 - ie. could get you into a situation where some other guy could see (& shoot) you without you being able to see him as he is just outside your range of vision ...

[doobiwan]

I very seldomly have that. the only time I every really lose visibility is if I'm trying to shoot down a chopper and it "clips out"

[TG]

Well, we've got 2 female forum members (that I'm aware of) - Singit & Xenophon so far. ;)

[doobiwan]

So why don't they hurry up and join then, or are they waiting for an ee invitiation :p

I shall chivalrously TK them equally as my male teammates!

[FeralBanana]

Wow doobi, I never knew you would do that. Amazing. :p

Solly TG, I never knew (actually, solly singit & xen)

Singit is darnit's <insert title here>, but who is xen?

[TG]

We know Xen from MyADSL forums.

Likewise Super Chocolate Bear comes from there as well. ;)

my girl only wants to come on public servers when she is competitive enough for the boys. She basically plays about 4 hours a day of bf2 at home since I got her the GFX card. She has never played a FPS before, so Im really proud of her progress... and she giggles when she snipes... this is going to be amusing.

PS, when she starts reading this forum.... I never said this...mmmmkay? :)

[FeralBanana]

lol... u better edit your post before then

oh, and tg: solly, but i don't go onto my'DSL very often (ie, at all)
