The card is very good and I'm pretty sure it's going to run perfectly BF2 in a 19". About the price I'm not sure.

However, you should search some reviews ;)

I just got it from MicroCenter (http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0279319) for "$229.99 -$199.99 after rebate savings" (http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0279319#rebate)

Great card Clocker did some testing on it in his Sprocket sashays... (http://208.101.40.56/vb3/t-sprocket-sashays-279968) thread

Unfortunately newegg does not ship to Canada. I think I'll have to pick this thing up on the weekend.

Solid card,probably clearing out the older models,the newer ones kick ass.The price has dropped on these so not that great a deal.Evga is a great brand though.

Be aware that's the American site .Canadian price is $189.99
I only mention it because not everything that you can get on the American site is on the Canadian one.
American one is better ,but us Canucks got to shop .ca
You could also look at NCIX.com. Canadian company,sometimes the prices are better.More stuff available,I found the service not as good,but better community.

If you have a gaming computer,you have to realize that obsolescence is built in,just like the hardware.Accept the fact or get a console,you'll be happier.:)
