    Hello- I just wanted to know which card provides more bang for buck. Playing bfbc2 on high also. I would normally do research myself but doing this on an iPod is frustrating enough :p

    Thanks in advance

    the ati 5650 would be more future proof and be found on newer laptops... For reference I had owned a dell studio xps with the older ati 4670 and that could play battlefield bc2 nearly maxed out at full hd. The 5650 is slightly faster and supports dx 11.. I would go for it

    i would say the ATI 5650 would be better... its DX11, has tesellation and a lot of new stuff... performance wise , its about the same level as 9800M GTS so 5650 is better overall..

    I would say 9800m gts. yeah the 5650 has dx11 but the 9800m gts is a more powerful card thanks to the 256 bit bus. also I really doubt you played bad company 2 on a 4670 nearly maxed at full hd with playable frame rates.
