7600GT is the way to go.

 

[aceofskies05]

what about the gs

 

[Kromis]

GS is ugh....pretty crippled.

For a little extra, the GT is the better buy.

 

[aceofskies05]

what makes the gs bad

Here, take a look at this review:

The GS and the GT are VERY different in terms of performance. But if you can live with it, then go ahead and get the 7600GS.

The GS uses GDDR2 instead of GDDR3 (meaning slower clocks?) and is clocked lower.

You can also choose to get the X850XT if you wish. Its much MUCH cheaper. But lacks SM2 support so no HDR for you! But since you are just gonna play BF2, there might not be a need for the 7600GS/GT.

i think im gonan go with the 7600gs what setting do u think i can run with bf2?

 

[Kromis]

Everything set to high and on 1280*1028 resolution. But if you are thinking about turning on AA or AF, you might wanna lower the resolution.

thius is for the gs or gt?
