You also have to note that allot of higher end single cards are actually multiple GPU cards that have to cores on the same card. I always go for a single card because developers just don't take the time to optimize their games for SLI/Crossfire and I rather run the game with less problems as an early adapter were as the SLI/Crossfire guys are waiting on a patch. | ||

If you have to change anyone of the above i don't think it would be worth it to get 2 cards instead of one. I can't provide you more advices tho, but you should ask that in the "Tech support" forum. | ||

(for example 2 150 euro cards or 1 300 euro card) I would always go with a single good card than two mid range ones but that's just me. I don't like being at the mercy of CF/SLI support for good performance, plus you can always add a second card down the line if you really want to. Personally I don't even buy CF/SLI motherboards if there's a cheaper alternative, but I'm a price/performance whore | ||

If not than they just combined them all and all the servers are on the same server list mixed together because I weren't into a server with a green 2 symbol and I was able to use some funky ass zip line crossbow. I hope that's all my problem is because I was looking forward to trying all the different things out, if not I don't mind too bad since I'm loving the hell out of the regular servers and single player vs AI (I'm a huge multiplayer offline vs AI player, find it more relaxing than versus real people). That's Special Forces, it's the only BF2 expansion that wasn't integrated into the base game | ||

I log on and play multiplayer and stuff but I can't figure out how to find or use the other 3 expansion things can someone fill me in? The internet so far has failed providing me information that apparently only my blessed TL community members have the brains to explain. Sometime Google is just fail. lol Armored Fury and Euroforce (I think that's what its called) are now integrated into BF2 itself. There are not alot of servers left for BF2 but I was playing up until a few months ago and some of the remaining top servers would have Armored Fury maps like Operation Harvest or Operation Road Rage and Euroforce maps like Taraba Quarry and Operation Smoke Screen. As to your question about the zipline, that is only in BF2 Special Forces, and that is a separate game which you have to load up separately. I don't know if there are any Special Forces servers still operating, but if there are, and if I remember correctly, you can load up Special Forces and still browse and play regular BF2 servers as well. Hope it helps. | ||

(for example 2 150 euro cards or 1 300 euro card) if they produce similar FPS numbers, 1 really powerful card is a far better solution than 2 less powerful cards youtube "microstutter" dual GPU setups have microstutter. the lower your FPS the more obvious microstutter becomes. the higher your FPS the less obvious (to the point of not noticing it) microstutter becomes. single GPU setups should not have microstutter issues | ||
