Is the visiontek radeon x1650pro hd 512mb any good?
I wanted to play fear and battlefield 2.

Thats good enough to play that game of yours, but try to look at radeon hd3xxx, it much more reliable than the out dated x1650 pro

Either AGP or PCI-e versions of that card are mediocre if not worse for gaming.

Some low end budget gaming cards. Most people when constructing a PC or upgrading understand this is an expensive part of the machine and usually when I build them I consider low end to be 100-175.00, however that is for a gaming machine. Good luck on your search.

If you are asking if that card can play those games, sure, but not with any setting past low/med.

I should reiterate, for the latest games and the ones you mentioned, i would reccommend the ones I listed. You will be able to play them with the 1650 but it depends on the quality of graphics you would like.

I made the mistake of getting it because I thought it would be good. It plays FS2004 fairly good on high graphics (slight lag when loading) and it lags quite a bit for FSX. It plays Doom 3 on ultimate graphics very well, though F.E.A.R. lags on medium graphics @ 1280x1024.
