5700 should run the game just fine, my friend plays it on medium on his 5500.

Video card must have 128 MB or more memory and one of the following chipsets:
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 or greater
- ATI Radeon 8500 or greater

Yea, it won't run it very well at all. You may want to pick up something like an x800 and a 512MB sick of RAM.

also overclock your processor, your video card also can be overclocked;
my northwood is 2.4ghz stock, and with stock cooling a can easily hit the 3.0ghz barrier without heat-problems, that is a 26% overclock, but remember, i have a northwood, an do it in small steps, like +5fsb every time orso, it only needs +5% vcore.
and my 3d card runs stock at 275/265, not it is at 345/335, also an 26% overclock, and everything is just fine.
oh, btw, my ram is overclocked too, from 2/3/3/6 too 2/2/2/6
don't begin with all this without annymore info, try google, you will find loads on it.
I-am-crazy

Most people say it runs much better with 2 gigs, probably the only game that actually needs 2 gigs if you want to run it at med/high settings.
As for the FX5500, all I'm saying is that it's impossible to even install the game withough at least a 5700.

The AGP one will be ok. You may want to get another 512MB stick of RAM too though.

^^is that a good deal? considering its canadian and would that work good with battlefield 2?
and can you acually use 2 video cards? do they combine together so if you had two 256 mb video cards would it be just like one 512 mb video card?
cheapest video card to run battlefield 2 smooth? - 5|*42 - 12-19-2005
Yea, that is actually a good price since it is in cacadian. And you can use two VCs, it's called SLI, or also it can be done with AIT's new Crossfire.

ATI Radeon X850 Pro 256MB AGP Graphics Card
so do you think this video card can run battlefield 2 on high settings?
cheapest video card to run battlefield 2 smooth? - 5|*42 - 12-19-2005
No, but not much can. You should be able to make medium though.

Uh, dude, in your first you posted an AGP card and then posted PCI E-16. Do you even know what kind of VGA expansion slot you have?
cheapest video card to run battlefield 2 smooth? - X-AtreYu-X - 12-19-2005
to be absolutly honest, no lol
is there anyway you could tell me if im using a geforce fx 5700?
and lastly, if i did get this card " ATI Radeon X850 Pro 256MB AGP Graphics Card " would it be able to run battlefield 2 a hell of alot better then my geforce fx 5700?
