Hello, I have just recently downloaded PR, and have a few questions to see why my computer can't run it that smoothly (please keep in mind that I am a computer idiot). I have a GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 video card. Is this card not that good for running PR? I am running PR at lowest settings, and my computer does not average that good of a FPS. I thought that my current computer could run PR on at least medium settings and maintain a good FPS. On low, I only maintain a solid FPS when there are few players around my current position, few things are going on, and there isn't a large view scape being generated.

If anyone knows the reason why im not running as smooth as I could be, please post.

Here are a few more system specs (taken off of Can You Run It?.com for Battlefield 2 for my PC).

OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Service Pack 2 (build 6002), 64-bit

RAM: 3.9 GB

CPU speed: 1.8 GHz Performance Rated at: 3.6 GHz

CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) 9150e Quad-Core Processor

1.8 GB of video ram

Direct X: 11

331.2 GB of free disk space

I have played a little bit of this game, and I think its awesome. I would be willing to sink (at the most) $60 into running this game on medium smoothly.

Any feed back would be much appreciated

Your video card is lacking, you should upgrade that
Your CPU isn't the best as it is 1.8Ghz
RAM is good at 3.9/4 GBs

I suggest you upgrade your Video Card

Well, is there one that you could suggest?

Depends on your budget mate. I see you only want to spend $60 - GTX570 is good bang for the buck - The Asus DirectCU being particularly good, and runs very cool indeed. Beyond your budget though.

Nvidia GTS250 would be my recommendation for you. Asus Black Knight being the one with a very fine cooler on.

Or a 2nd Hand 8800GTX is a great buy if you have the PSU for it. (Use the newegg PSU calculator)

Thanks alot for your feed back, ill look into those

I updated my driver for my video card, and I'm running at an acceptable frame rate (by my standards) on low. So I may or may not get a new video card, only time will tell

Could you potentially link me to a GTS250 that you are talking about? I cannot figure out what is what. Being a computer illiterate does that to a person. I plan on ordering off of amazon, and there are alot of GTS250's.

Im assuming this one http://www.amazon.com/Asus-PCI-Express- ... B003LD7NWG
