Re: time to upgrade for arma2
Seems the Sweet spot for Vid cars is the $150 US mark... Bang for Buck etc.. I did find that ARMA 1 was playable with an AVERAGE card...Arma 2...probably still playable.. So if you are talking sbout 50-75 Euro's you may be able to find something in that realm..maybe a 9800GT or something.. 9600GT.. If it's in US$$.... NOPE..

Re: time to upgrade for arma2
Major issue though, what is your power supply? Most cards now require 500 watt minimum. Thats my issue, I want a nividia 260 but it needs 500 watts!

Re: time to upgrade for arma2
If you are looking for an affordable vid card and don't want to waste money, I would recommend the 8800GT. All the other cards above that like the 9600GT or such are pretty much the same as the 8800GT just has maybe one or two new thing added. You can pretty much get the 8800GT under $100. They are sort of hard to find though... I, at least, haven't had any luck finding one online. But if you try hard enough, you should be able to find one. Just note that I am considering the fact that you are limited on funds. There are definitely much better cards out there than the 8800GT. I would also recommend probably buying an extra RAM as well. Go up to 3GB at least. A new processor would be nice too.
8800GT VS. 9800GTX
