    If its an AGP the best nvidia cards you can get would be the 6800 series as the 7800s only run on PCI-Express

    cant really comment on ATI cards

    I've seen a X700 512mb PCI-E working with battlefield 2 and i think that it´s very pretty but not smooth in playing

    AMD64 3000+ 1.8GHz, Giga-Byte GA-K8NSC-939, 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, Nvidia XFX 6600GT 128MB AGP8x, 160GB SATA!

    Battlefield 2 in singleplayer mode runs with some delays at full graphics! To play it normally I usually set the Textures at MEDIUM!

    Is it normal? Can I do something?
    I've installed the latests nvidia & nforce3 drivers!

    Thats about right for BF2 with a 6600GT , it also depends on what rez you run ..anything above 1024*768 & you have to lower the eye candy settings or it gets a bit choppy ... BF2 also benifits when a system is running more than 1 gig of ram.
    As for your original post the ATi X800 series of cards are very good or there is the Nvidia 6800 series, the GT & ultra are getting kinda scarce now but they have resently released a 6800GS.
    Best bet is to read some reviews on these cards & then make your choice :)

    I usually play at 1024*768 75hz. All settings at high, less the texture that runs better at medium in a 16 player map single player i've never played on the net cause i'm not plugged yet.

    I've tested the most wanted at ALL SETTINGS TOP graphics and my 6600gt runs very well. Always in a 1024*768 75Hz.(i've read somewhere that it's the recomended resolution for 17" monitor for 8+ hours PC users)
