Hi All

Can anyone tell me what a really good graphics card would be for BC2. Im currently running a AMD quad core 3.0ghz 8gigs of ram with a nivida 8600 card. Any useful would be great

urggh ignore me if this becomes too nerdy... you'll be pushing it from a temperature perspective to get to 3.00ghz on a stock cooler. (the exception being if you have the G0 stepping Q6600)

If you're still wanting to try, probably just leave most settings stock and up the front side bus to 333 (mem timings etc., auto)

However I'll assume if i's crashing from cold pretty quickly, it's probably not overheating. More likely under-voltaged. Ideally you want the voltage as low as possible for it to work though

CPU FSB - 333

PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING AS I'M GOING FROM MEMORY HERE AND IF WRONG COULD BURN OUT THE CPU ;D

CPU Voltage - I believe 1.325 is stock, I wouldn't go higher than 1.34 personally although I hear of people using 1.4

Dram Voltage - 2.1v standard for corsair but check with your memory supplier

If you do go down this route, I'd be very careful about frying you chips :s

mmm, chips...
