	[quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="FABIO"]Was your video card top of the line only 3 years ago? Tough, you can't play this game :([/quote] <a href="http://www.sharkyextreme.com/guides/article.php/10704_3512026__2" target="new">Get thee hence.</a> A hundy and change will bump you up, less if Best Buy is running a rebate (like they did for the Audigy2XSCLXSLX recently). Beyond that: dude, three years? Top of the line shmop of the line, that's at least one year too long in vid card years.[/quote] I'm thinking more along the lines that it can run Farcry, Doom 3, Bloodlines (theoretically meaning Halflife 2 also) and every other fancy brand new graphical tech demo out there just fine, so what the fuck is Battlefield 2 doing that's so goddamn special that it entirely skips the "running crappy" step and goes straight from "runs everything smoothly" to "won't even start" on the usually gradual path to obsolescence? Obscure directx9.0 features? Will I finally be able to enjoy the slightly more realistic waving tree branches that I was denied in Battlefield Nam (which according to reports Battlefield 2's graphics are on par with at the lowest levels)? Because that was definately the most vital feature I was hoping for, even more important than "running the game". How on earth could PC gaming be dying to consoles?[/quote]
