Whats the cheapest I can get for bfbc2?

Olik My old computer played it ok with a dual core processor, a nvidia gt8800, and 2GB of ram, updated everything this week (quad core, 4 gb ram, 1gb grafix card )and didn't really notice a difference. I put one of these in it works great http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127490

i got my copy of BFBC2 for $19.99 from newegg

i tihnk he means a vid card compatible with BC2

thanks dick!

hey im curious, i was looking at the system requirements for this game. my desktop is kinda old got it back in 05 its a amd athlon processor. the game requires a 2.0ghz processor and mine is 2.41 so does the kind of processor matter as long as my speed meets the requirments?

Check the recommended specs for the game, never go by the minimum specs, you'll be better off. If a 2Ghz cpu is the minimum, it will play, but not well.

Viper,
i have an "AMD Phenom II X4 3.21 GHz with 4 Gigs Ram" and i needed to set the details to "Low"
or i'm lagging my ass off... so you better upgrade.

In regards to graphics problems with the newer or newest games, update your graphics card. I've got an ATI Radeon 6950 from MSI that has 2Gb DDR5 ram on it. I run BFBC2 on the highest graphics setting without any problem.

Well actually on low you have no grass and all the crap so you see enemies better!

Always a good thing, especially against the 'Quake kiddies', that don't have enough mentality to function as a member of a combat team.

If you are going to upgrade anything-- make it the vid card..

the CPU speed will make some difference - but mainly in opening up game/loading the map ...

Not sure what ur budget is......

I use a ATI Radeon 5770 - im guessing its probably one of the cheaper cards that can run battlefield on high settings.

For anyone else wanting a worthwhile upgrade, I recommend using a SSD instead of a HD for Windows/programs. Windows loads in under 40 seconds and programs open instantly. They are expensive, around $130 for a 60GB drive but they are worth the money. I couldnt go back to using a HD for an operating system.

The good news is that the prices are falling, I paid £150 for mine last March but now there are faster drives available for £90

definitely the 5770 is good and not as expensive as others, but if u low some of the settings with this card u can get more frames.

Now about if u play with all on low u can se better the enemies, I dunno Ive tried but I think u lose some draw distance, or maybe its just my impression.
