Nope, just did some color correction.

Btw I think the thing that is slowing your PC down is your video card.

i just upgraded a few weeks ago to 4 GB of RAM and put in another geforce 7600GT (running SLI, of course) and i am running everything on high now.

with the rebates, this upgrade cost me $160. it's totally worth it. my setup cant play crysis very well on medium, but it's PR where i spend 99% of my gaming time, so who cares...

i jsut turned up my settings a little more, man what a diference, 1280x1024 resolution, AA at 4x, tried 6x, and it slowed a bit when zoomed in or in smoke so i put it to 4x, works great.

I run everything maxed out with:

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego
eVGA Nvidia 7800GT CO (stock overclocked)
2GB (2x1GB) OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum (CAS 2-3-2-5)
Western Digital 74GB Raptor SATA (10k RPM)

I get about an average of 50fps, with around 80fps in regular land but occasionally dipping to 30fps when in really intense firefights in thick grass. I load in about 45 seconds to a minute.

I've been running on low for ages. It sucks but my 3 and a bit year old PC is kinda shitty. It can handle medium but I get baaaad lag sometimes.

I've saved up for my new rig so soon I'll be getting the 1337 graphis I deserve!

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Asus P5N32-E SLI
MSI 8800GTX
4Gb Corsair XMS6400 Memory

All on a 22" Widescreen. Better be worth the £...

I dunno about the newer ones but watch those ASUS motherboards, the fan went on my BIOS which is why I asked what kinda stuff might be worthwhile in the first place...

So you High settings people f]get decent FPSs in general then?

I have;
P4 3Ghz
2GB RAM
GeForce 7600GT
S-ATA

I can play with most settings on high on maps like OGT, Helmand, Sunset and Mestia, but EJOD Desert for example runs very bad if I'm near the city and face it. Same goes for Seven Gates, the map plays fine, until I'm near the Citadel and face it. Look away from these lag-causers and I get at least 50 fps. Lowering the settings doesn't seem to solve this; on occassions I still get 15-20 fps for crying out loud!!!!

I've updated my GeForce drivers, have little services running and clean my pc very often. There's no spyware or whatsoever on my rig, temperature is fine, etc.

If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

My setup:
AMD Athlon X2 4200+ CPU
2GB DDR 400 RAM
7800 GT Graphics Card
Samsung 226BW 22" LCD Monitor (1680 x 1050)

My Settings:
Resolution: 1680 x 1050 (command line)
Terrain: High
Effects: High
Geometry: High
Texture: Medium
Lighting: High
Dynamic Shadows: High
Dynamic Light: High
Anti-Aliasing: 2x
Texture Filtering: High
View Distance: 100%

FPS Range: 60-99 fps

I play everything on high with a x1950pro but I still need a better graphics card if I wanted it perfect.

Most of the time the fps will be 100 or 50 but sometimes it will fall to 10 and you can bet it does that just when you need your best aim.

Dust and smoke is the biggest fps killer that ive seen, to overcome this I would need double the power I have now. Obviously not worth it most of the time.

If you want to see what I mean, drive a tank forward and swivel the view to the rear dust trail you are kicking up then do maximum zoom and your fps should be near to its lowest just then


1280x960, no AA, and all on high with medium filtering

60fps falls to 19fps when firing a tank shell while zoomed

60fps falls to 14fps when firing a tank shell while zoomed after poping smoke

I run bf2 on the highest possible, with 99 fps in vanilla and 80+ fps in PR maps.

If you run fraps while playing it will record your minimum and average framerate for you. I doubt 80 is your minimum, whats your spec

All on high with 4xAA

I also have all on high with 4xAA, but mine seems to look beter, what resolution are u using?

all low except effects

2.4 pentium 4
1.5 gigs **** ram
ati x1300 PCI (not express) 256 meg
80 gig hd

If anyone of you guys has a rig that runs medium with 64 players with smooth fps, PM me

OK, have had some lag/ shutter issues, with some help from this forum I've resolved it, can someone take a look at my rig's basic info( in Sig ) and let me know if I can crank it up to Full settings, and let me know if it can handle the extra load. I'm really bummed if it can't.

kaffi you should be able to run high, but it looks like you need another gig or 2 of ram.

I bet he has anisotropic filtering on low or off.

I have it on 16x and it looks much better.
