New Videocard

Hey, I just got a BFG Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS OC card wih 512 megs of onboard RAM.

How good is this card? I read that this was marketed at the middle-low end of the market, but I want to know how this card stacks up.

On a related topic, immediately after I got this card installed and updated the drivers (the third update attemp worked) It could run Battlefield 2, but later on that day, it could no longer play BF2. I don't know why. I defragged my HD, and deleted some useless files, but it still didn't work.

weak card

The 7600GS is a good lower-middle end card. Though the extra you spent to get the 512mb version would have been better spent on a 7600GT with SUPERIOR GDDR3 VRAM.

It's a good card for the money - the 7600 range is all pretty good value.  It should run BF2 unless you've got it set to some ridiculous resolution with many x AA filtering.
