BF2 Engine Assessment

Post by **JS.Fortnight.A** » 2005-06-17 19:44

The demo was reviewed by The Inquirer (two days ago) and had some thoughts regarding the demo and the full release as well as possible patches on the day of the release including low to high hardware settings. Good read I found, although most of the info is common sense to most of us

good to hear that it'll be able to play on computers 2-4 years old, which might as well be stones compared to some of the new stuff coming out. as for me, i am getting a new compuiter, although not exclusively for battlefield 2... but mostly

It runs well on my nvidia 5600 FX, which supposedly isn't a supported card. True everything (cept textures and geometry) is on low and all lighting is off, no lag at all, which is more than I can say for BFV with everything on low.

Getting new comp soon... depends on wether or not Target hires me....

I looks stunning on my 6800 Ultra OC. I run all vis settings on Highest, no AA. Beautiful, and immersive visuals.

when i get my new comp it'll have a 256mg nvidia 6800, and right now i run the demo on lowest settings and i still think it looks pretty good.

whew! then it should run on my Nvidea 5500 FX!

Yeah I gotta revamp my computer, right now its a 1.6CPU, 1gig ram PC 3200, although my current mother board is made for 2700, and that nvidea card.

im trying to get a job and am going to save up to get new motherboard and CPU, then later on a new vid card.

As far as videocards and mother boards go, whats the way to go?

PCI or APG?

I recommend that one sticks with AGP standards for the time being until PCI-E becomes shall we say, more economically viable. If you already are set with your motherboard and CPU, and the mobo supports AGP only. Then there is no point to pretty much get a whole new system just to support a PCI-E video card setup. I will be upgrading my current P4 (2.6ghz) system (AGP based mother board), with an AGP 8x 'X850XT' and will be set for at least a year, and hopefully by the time I should upgrade again, PCI-E stuff should be as cheap as the current prices are for non-PCI-E based products. Since if I want to upgrade my system to PCI-E it will be a huge headache and hole to the wallet to buy a new CPU, mobo, and AGP card
