I read about a few people whose PR was running on integrated graphics instead of dedicated graphics card, which could explain the bad performance of PR i get on object dense maps (like city maps), even though i think my PC should be able to handle it.

However most of them were probably playing on laptops, but i am playing on a PC.

I can run BF2 and BF 2142 on highest settings at max frames, i know that PR is heavily modded and therefore more difficult on the hardware, but the difference in performance seems to be too great.

Also when i use OBS my frames almost drop by half which also seems way too much and might indicate that PR graphics are running of off the CPU.

I have an AMD Radeon HD5850 graphics card, 6GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 920 CPU.

So how can i check if PR graphics are being done by CPU or GPU, i already looked on the interwebz but could not find anything conclusive for my build.

Thanks.

So any one knows how to do it?

Try GPU-Z

Under the sensors tab, it will show GPU usage and there's a drop down box on the bottom to switch between GPUs. Your computer is most likely CPU-limited for PR.

Its definitely your video card because your monitor is plugged into it, the computer isn't going to output onboard gpu through your 5850. The problem is that the bf2 exe can only use 1 core because its old. A modern gpu isn't really taxed at all by this game. To run PR really well you need a cpu that doesn't exist that runs at 6ghz and has super high ipc....I think.
