why?
cuz i just built myself an i7 rig with the leetness of a HD 4870 1GB GDDR5


on my old laptop though Korengal was near to unplayable, i guess thats why i sold it. You might wanna decrease geometry settings. thats what i did on my own lappy, its mostly the CPU's fault that it goes stuttering. As with DirectX9 games, they still use the CPU to render the geometrys and all the models. the GPU practically only does textures, lighting, shadows, and shaders.

It's sooo frustating/annoying getting new hardware and then think ur shiny new GPU is under performing cause you've read reviews saying how great the GPU is. So is anyone managing to stay in the 60FPS range all the time in Korengal?

'[R-DEV wrote:Masaq;899752']40FPS is almost certainly likely to be between 10 and 15 frames per second more than the point at which you eye will start to perceive any slowdown in the moving image. If the most graphics-intensive map in PR can bring your PC to ~45FPS on full highest settings, that says more about the level to which the BF2 engine has been pushed, not deficiencies in your hardware.

Only a single core of your processor will be utilised, with around 3.25Gb of your RAM if you're on a 32-bit OS - actually much less because you've also got your OS's functions and any background programs rammed in there too, not just BF2/PR.

The engine doesn't make use of any fancy new stuff on your DX10 card or multiple cores. Don't expect performance seen in artificial benchmarks - written specifically to take advantage of every last drop of ability in hardware - to be born out in games that are effectively around 6-7 years old.

That is, if our problem is when looking at certain areas, etc. Which was also my problem. Decent performance, but when I looked in a certain map direction I dropped like 30+ FPS. Regardless, you should see a certain boost come .85 and Korengal.

There's a thread on it somewhere...
