Hi.. I have recently bought a new computer, but i am experiencing problems in PR..

Specs:
Intel i5 750 stock, on Asus p5p77D Deluxe motherboard. 4gb ram and Asus Radeon HD 5850. Running Win 7 x64

What happens is: Loading takes forever, and when i actually is able to join a squad i get random stuttering with FPS drop.. I play BfBc2 as well and i know there is an issue with the ATI 5xxx series having slow loading times, but i have not gotten the laggy image and fps drop in any other game. When i play FPS is around 100 - 150, but suddenly drops to 00.00 or 01.99 etc.. no matter if I am running or standing completely still..

Anyone know what to do?

EDIT: Due to delivery problems i got my graphics card a month and a half after i got the computer.. in the meantime PR was running smoothly on the new machine but on a Nvidia 7950GT and win xp!

Sounds like a network issue (firewall/Punkbuster,etc),how does a local game run?

Local games run just as the online games.. It worked smooth until i installed the new graphics card...

Should have went with Nvidia, check your CCC panel and make sure everything is set properly and that you have the current stable driver.

Hehe.. Now I know.. I used to hate ATI before, and I was a real Nvidia fanboy.. now I remember why!.. too late now.. gotta find a fix

I seem to be getting some fps issues and im running on a reasonably high end system:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz, 3072mb RAM, ASUS Radeon HD 4890 1gb. With the 09.17 patch and i still seem to be getting around 15-25 fps when on maps like fallujah west, gaza beach, lashkagar valley. It seems to still be around in the centers of the maps.
