:hmm:
ATI cards in my opinion are crappy, lots of problems, they fail to much for what I have been reading in the communities I have been before,
for example in BF2, after a certain patch of that game, one of the series of ATI stopped running the game or gave mayor graphic glitches (weird colors and stuff)
cant specify wich it was, but it was a card that was supported by the game (somewhere in the middle of the list). now the comunity was full of ''HELP ME'' threads about the same problem. they installed the latest drivers but it just didnt run the game. now the funny part is I have a m8 who has a Geforce FX5500 256 MB, now that Card is not on the list of supported vid card by BF2 because it misses something, but thanks to a small fix (a certain files that changes something in the BF2 graphic configuration) the game just run very good on Low/Med graphic setup.
so my story is, buy a good Geforce card, and no , a 256 MB card isnt overkill. the 256 mb cards are now very good and stable. the 512 in ohter hand is still in baby shoes and need more research. but thats the beauty of computer hardware, it never stops. I advice a good Geforce Serie 6 or 7 , those are very recomandable.
