kindof. if you're considering spending $500 on a video card, you just as well spend $150 on an abit nf7-s, $85 on a barton 2500 (or 150 on a 2800), and get a couple sticks of corsair xms 512's. just as well get a 7200rpm 8mb cache hdd as well (the difference between a 7200 2mb and 7200 8mb hard drive is INSANE).
btw, level loading times don't have much to do with your vid card. dc takes about 30 seconds or so for me to load a map (bf1942 mod). that's all in the processor, mem and hard drives.
