Yes and no. More RAM will fix some crash issues at map change, but it will have absolutely no effect on framerate (FPS) or picture quality.alberto_di_gio wrote:Do you think rising my current 4 GB RAM to 8 GB will make significant effect on my game performance?

I upgraded my computer only two months ago only to play PR. And it worth every penny sent
My System SpecificationsI'm playing with 1650 x 1050 resolution and every setting on High which is all ok with the 0.9 performance. The only significant problems are:
- Operating System :Windows 7 (64-bit)
- CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83 GHz
- Graphics Card :NVidia GeForce 9800 GT
- Amount of RAM : 4 GB
- Sound Card :O n Borad
OK here is my question. I already spent my money for an upgrade. Only thing I can upgrade right now is my ram. Do you think rising my current 4 GB RAM to 8 GB will make significant effect on my game performance?
- Low FPS issues on some maps' specific locations. (Especially in Forests)
- Sometimes abnormality on ground graphics while flying
- Having difficulty to find/locate INS caches.
Thank You!
More RAM will help all the apps running on one machine.[R-DEV]ZZEZ wrote:I don't think BF2 can use more then 4gig of RAM..but I could be wrong
That really depends on how much of his RAM is being used and what GFX settings he is playing at. If not all of his 4gbs is being used (which is most likley unless he has other big programs running in the bg) then ye, it will not make much difference to FPS etc.clueless_noob wrote:Yes and no.

No it can't BUT like clueless said, other apps being able to use the memory can make sure that BF2 or w/e other program is running can get the full 4gbs if it needs.[R-DEV]ZZEZ wrote:I don't think BF2 can use more then 4gig of RAM..but I could be wrong
) and lightmapping uses shit loads of RAM, epically when doing it in Max with a full map being loaded hehe.

As I said I'm playing everything on high (accept AA off) with the max. wide screen resolution I can (1650 x 1050). And never have any app. working on the background. I close everything before starting game.[R-DEV]Rhino wrote:That really depends on how much of his RAM is being used and what GFX settings he is playing at.

ops:DDR2 800 runs at 400mhz internally but works as 800mhz memory in action. DDR3 is same, DDR3 800 would run 200mhz internally. And if you have 2gb, yes might have something to do with lack of fps in some places, I would recommend you get the 4gb.rudy_eila wrote:Same GPU here but less RAM!
I got 2GB on Windows 7 with Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz
anyway... I start playing with 86 FPS... after 2-4 hours My FPS drop to 15 (Not instantly) and after that I crash to desktop...
I thought its an overheating issue in my GPU... but no...
its not!
So for me its a RAM issue as my RAM is running at 400.3MHz only
I am not sure if its a RAM issue for you too...
If I'm not mistaken, the BF2 1.5 Patch fixed that so you don't need to manually edit the exe anymore.wookimonsta wrote:Its important to remember that windows flags applications on whether or not they can handle any addresses > 2 Gig.
If you wanna use a larger amount, you need to edit the BF2.exe.
I actually needed to ask this. I frequently crash on map change, and have slow map loadings.clueless_noob wrote:Yes and no. More RAM will fix some crash issues at map change, but it will have absolutely no effect on framerate (FPS) or picture quality.
