9800 will perform exceptionally for him

I suggest you save some money go for 4670 HD and buy him more RAM

512 mb is not enough.

Consider these too seriously,
especially RAM

lol Im sorry I should have said the specs on the Pc before but its a phenom II 940 at 3.0 and 4gb or DDR2 ram he has 512mb of ram on the 9800 so i dont think more then 4 gb of ram will help sorry that was my fauly for not explaining like i should

anyway the reason im getting the 9800 is cause its going to cause me like nothing to get it from a friend so....

and would you please back up what you are saying about " 9800 will perform exceptionally for him "

Thanks again ! and for the fast reply none the less !

9800 is more than enough to play it on low. i'm estimating you'll be able to play on medium/high at 1680x1050 with no problems at all.

Well thanks again, to all of you who help!
and if you think its going to run it fine at 1680x1050 then we are in good shape cause his screen doesnt even go that far i think he plays battlefield 2142 right now at 600x800 lol

thanks again and i sure hope you are right about it being able to run it al low !

I am assuring you that it will play all your desired games including Bad Company 2.

Don't worry, since you are getting it for free.
(I wish I had a friend like yours)

It will run fine 1280x1020 with maximum settings, since 9800 GT is a no joke card.


If you wanna increase resolution to 1680x1200, It will still perform great.


And there can't be any evidence, since the game is not out yet.

But It will play it, that is for sure
