ive got a 256mb graphics card in my pc, but it runs need for speed most wanted really slow, i dont understand why its doing this. The computer is free from spyware and cr*p like that. does anyone no why, or would it be better to buy a new card.
the spec of my pc are:
AMD 3500+
1.5gb ram
200gb hard drive
and of cause 256mb nvidia 6600
cheers,

memory on graphics card isn't the only thing that determines performance. THere's core speed, mem speed, pixel pipelines and a whole alot of other stuff. Read Video Card 101
 
try running the game at 1024x768, thats the best setting to run it on if you have a 15" or 17" CRT.
 
You might want to upgrade to a 6600GT. I can run BF2 at high, and it plays great. Those two letters can make a lot of difference!
 
ive change the screen resolution in the game options and it has made a big improvment to the gameplay, also i have a 512mb ram stick arriving soon, so it should be spot on by then.
cheers

i dont know if the ram will make a big difference.....you already have 1.5gigs and i dobut that 512 more will make a huge difference, but maybe a little bit.:)

yeah, buying a better graphics card will make a bigger difference than getting more ram.
 
the 6800GT would be an excellent choice, or maybe the x1600XT if you want to keep the price under $200.
