PCI-E 6600 GT here, screams through everything this game throws at it, looks at me, yawns, and asks for more.

The GeForce 6600gt is down around $150 now online ... seems like a pretty good card.

I had this Card running the current version of HA2..it did very well . I now have the 6800GT you can tell the difference. But the 6600GT did well enough. Its a great card at that price.

I concur. Another is zipzoomfly.com I have bought a lot of Hardware from them and they too are great to do business with. g/l

I have the X700 card PCIE 256MB ram.

I can't get it to run in AH without using 4.12 Drivers (Skuzzy's advice).  The latest drivers are 5.13, and I haven't tried those. With 5.12 drivers, AH2 wouldn't even get past the boot up frame.  I can't run the 1280 X anything without CTD.  1024 and 1600 mode do not give me CTD's,  But they give me stuttering if I run the textures past 128 in the 1600 mode.

I have 1.5GB or RAM and a 3200+ Athlon, and have done extensive hardware testing, with no problems found.

I get these %*$ rubber bullets.  I have film of me taking passes at a lanc in a LGay7.  Three passes, point blank, hit sprites hit sprites, hit sprites.  Finally on the third pass he starts on fire.  Over 180 rounds, under 200 yards, solid hit sprites, I get a fire on the 3rd pass??

I ping the hell out of bogeys and then someone else shoots them down, and I don't even get an assists.  This happens several times a night. I have hit fighter planes in the wings with the 30mm guns in the 190A8 and not even taken off an elevator.

I emptied the guns of a 163 into a 234 and after about 10 to 15 hit sprites he started to smoke and then went on fire.  120 rounds of 30mm at close range, and he only starts to smoke, 30mms???

Stay away from ATI cards.

I'm not coming back to AH2 until I get a NIVIDIA card.  Until then I think I will try WOW.

im using a ATI card now and i have no problems with it. Also i dont plan using it with AH if u dont know im switching to WWII online as soon as my new harddrive comes in. Which would prbably be tomorrow or the day after.
Sorry guys it has been fun but i like wwiiol better. after 2 1/2 years in a plane i feel like infantry and good tank battles.

From the tests and reviews I've read, the fastest card for $200 or less is the Nvidia GeForce 6800 GS.  I've got one on order and will see how it does.  I've ordered it through Newegg.com.  Newegg is fine, but the manufacturer of the card (eVGA) has packaged it so that the card often gets damaged in shipment -- a heavy card, in only bubble wrap, with tall capacitors at the end of the card.  I've got two cards so far with capacitors broken off the board.  We'll see if I ever manage to get one that isn't damaged.
