I'm seriously considering getting this game, and my computer meets all the system requirements except maybe one. My graphics card is old and cheap. It's an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB PCI card. I'm wondering if it will play BF2, because I don't have enough cash to get a great new graphics card.
shareIt is recommended for the FX series you have 5800 or above. You might be able to get it work with a 5200, but it wont look as nice. I myself have a GeForce LE 6200, which is not on the official list. But the game runs and looks damn fine. I would suggest using it and see if the game runs. If it does, keep it that way. If not, return the game or save up for a new video card. Whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Here's the official list of supported video cards:
Radeon X700 (PCIe)
Radeon X600 (PCIe)
GeForce 6600 (PCIe)
GeForce PCX 5900 (PCIe)

NVidia GeForce 6800 GT
NVidia GeForce 6800
NVidia GeForce FX 5950 Series

All are recommended to have 128 MB or above.
