So, I've recently got myself a brand new computer. And I got a bit disappionted when all settings on high wasn't what I had expected. So my question is: How will I make it look extremely good? I've been searching the internet on maxed BF2 graphics but found nothing really.

I also know you can adjust your color settings to make it look epic like in the "Custom color settings" thread. Sadly the picture of how his PR looked is gone. But it looked so good I would have guessed the picture was photoshoped. It seemed like he had managed to get away all those ugly edges as well, everything looked so smooth.

I've got ATI Tray tools with these settings (which I guess make graphics better somehow):

- Triple buffering
- Anti Aliasing 8x
- Filter: Edge-detect (not sure on this one, there's also: box, wide-tent, narrow-tent)
- Anisotropic filtering "Quality with Trilinear" 16x
- Texture preference: High Quality
- Mipmap detail level: High Quality
- Temporal AA: 3x

I'm a pure noob with all those strange words and terms. I'm pretty much guessing so if you know some ultimate settings please tell me.


If this could help anything at all I'll post my specs. But I just wanna know how to max it out as much as possible so I wouldn't care about lag and such.

System specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz
RAM: 2GB
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

The screenshots they make are edited, there not the raw game shots. High settings which I play on keep me happy and look good so, your at the top of the graphics views.

No, I'm talking about the picture Bosco originally posted in that thread I linked to. Here's what he said:

I've had alot of people asking what kind of special graphic settings I use to get the quality like this:

I don't think he had edited that one, it looked really nice (it's gone now though).

2 things

1) the Link epic fails "Page not Found"

2) I agree with Soucy, in that the highest u can go is the highest u can go. Its a pretty old game Battlefield, its shows with the gaps in the BF2 Engine.

Yeah, hopefully they'll try to do this mod with crysis One can always hope.

No, no, no. I've seen the picture myself.


Just read this reply to the thread about color settings:

unless you mean löffel, then you're one sick man.

Play with everything on Low for a month, then turn it back up.

Yeah, there are some ways to mess around with the colour settings to make PR look cooler. Not exactly sure how to do it but there should be some tuts around.

I've just seen one, the one I posted, and it only seem to have a good solution for Nvidia-users. ATI doesn't seem to do the trick. According to some it might be the saturation setting that is important. I found something similar in ATI CCC. But whenever I make changes, press Apply and tabb up PR, the settings go back to "Use program settings" or something.

Im pretty sure the colour settings you change are ONLY displayed on your computer and DO NOT show up in screenshots/videos etc.

That depends. You can either change the settings, so they're changed in game, or you can change them just for the screen. Or you can have both.

IFAIK The nvida control panel controls the graphics card, so it changes screenshots too. Monitor settings obviously would not change screenshots.

Yeah, Bosco set up his colour settings and had a before and after picture for us to demonstrate...so it must affect screens

Can't you change those exact same things in photoshop? But I know I read on here a long time ago that if you change it via the graphics card it does not show up on screenshots.

Someone should make a program that makes bloom on the values what are brigther than 220. And it wouldn´t care what it is in the screen. It would be nice posteffect program

I think that it could be that he simply mimicked the changes in photoshop

This thread is so full of fail ...

There are ways to change the colors and other settings too directly on your graphic card period

The screenshots/videos are affected by that period

Color adjustment is possible with ATI CCC for ATI cards (obviously) and Nvidia Controlpanel for Nvidia (obviously) period

Just try it and post your before / after pictures in here and you'll see that it works.
