The 2600 is about on par with an Nvidia 8600 GT, which is below the minimum requirements for the game.

Fucking 2007. Alright, I've got about $120 to work with, what's a good graphics card that I could go get tomorrow? Preferably AMD.

I found some cards that seem legit, but I would like some other opinions:

XFX ATI Radeon™ HD 5450
http://www.frys.com/product/6223580?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

MSI ATI Radeon HD 5450
http://www.frys.com/product/6230530?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

DIAMOND ATI RADEON HD 5570 DDR3
http://www.frys.com/product/6202210?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

XFX HD-567X-ZNL3 Radeon HD 5670
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150535&cm_sp=Cat_Video_Cards_%26%2338%3b_Video_Devices-_-Featured_Brand-_-14-150-535

XFX HD-675X-ZMFR Radeon HD 6750
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150572&cm_sp=Cat_Video_Cards_%26%2338%3b_Video_Devices-_-Featured_Brand-_-14-150-572

They all support Directx 11, any thoughts? Before I buy one though I'm going to check the other systems in the house to see if there's any card that's better than mine and switch it if needed. Also I'm not too crazy about getting it from Newegg considering how I'm very impatient with this and want to play it as soon as possible.

If you're buying a new card, make sure your motherboard and PSU will support it.  For example, if you're using a lower-end dell desktop, the PSU will not be sufficient to run a discrete GPU that requires extra power.

I built it with different parts back in '07 so I'll have to double check all that to make sure.

I play mine in windowed mode, Fullscreen didn't work and I'm too lazy to switch it and I've come to like it since I can see who joins vent while in game now. Update your drivers then if it is having probs might be the windowed mode thing.

I went to Fry's and ended up getting a XFX Radeon HD 6770 for $120, the game works, defaults were all on high but it lagged so now I evened things out. I'll being playing the campaign for awhile before I go online, so far so good.
