Right now, I'm looking for a new video card to replace my current card which is a BFG Geforce 6800 oc 128 mb. It came stock with the 350/700 setting. Right now, when I run BF2 with this card and the rest of my settings, I can have almost every setting on high except textures and no AA. However, I have noticed frame rates anywhere from 40-70 on average, and sometimes it seems to go down lower then that. Also it has the occasional stuttering effect while playing. My current setup is:

AMD 64 4000+ San Diego Chip
Thermaltake Silent Pure Power 480w
Corsair XMS 2x1 GB Twin DDR 400 RAM
DFI UT NF3 Ultra - D
300 GB WD Hard drive
and the 6800 oc

I have about $400.00 to spend, could bump it up to around $425 ish if needed. Basically, I'm looking for a card that runs stock without any OC'ing better then my current card but can be OC'd nicely. This needs to be an AGP card also. I plan on picking this up tomorrow sometime, so any opinions or recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the fast reply. I'll make sure that I read over the thread in the link and see if that can help me decide. Right now I'm thinking either the X850 of the 6800 GT. Really have little experience in the graphics card area. One thing though that is making me wonder. I was looking at the compusa website and they have the x850 as 520/540 while newegg has it as 520/1080. From what I looked at, they are basically the same price, newegg has it for about $4.00 cheaper, not that big of a deal, yet the memory clock is double on newegg. Unless, like I said, I read it wrong because I really don't know much on video cards. Any reasons why it is shown like this or is this a typo, and if so, on whos part?
