The Official "How well/will my computer run BF2?" thread

[Ironduke]

doesnt mean u need it now......what program will use 4 gigs of ram? or even 3 gigs?
none lol, but at least it wont decrease performance :)

[Medel]

It might... It is Windows after all. (Think of how many anti-spyware scans Windows will want to run while you're playing, now! WOW) :D

does anyone know when that damn demo is coming out... im tired of waiting

[Eddie]

NO, w8 patiently, i'm sick of ppl goin on about the demo

Will This run on medium-high settings?
And what would be better to use a GeForce 5700LE or the Visiontek Xtasy Radeon 9600

thanks

[-=Nick=-]

i dont know all that much about videocards but i would say use the 5700 and you should be able to get atleast med but might be able to get high out of it.

hey shadow, trust me on this one. Change the fan that comes with the intel chip. I wish i did. I'm goin to get it changed over the summer. It's so bloody loud when it's running at full speed :O. I'm planning to get a nice and quiet Zalman fan just before bf2 comes out. I don't wanna play the game with this high pitched sound right next to me :\

you should look at upgrading your ram to 1gb, that video card should work but i dont know if you will be able to get high with it, and you might as well upgrade you cd drive because 16x is a little slow... but your processer is good

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton)
2x 512MB PC2700 DDRAM (DualDDR)
Ati Radeon 9800Pro

[$G-MONEY SMITH$]

probably not on high due to the processor and then maybe the video card.

[=MD=Alecto]

would I be able to max out BF2 with around 60-70 FPS?:

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.6 GHz
Ram: 512 MB PC3200 from compaq
Vid Card: Geforce 6600 GT AGP 8x

I'll probably get a gig stick of RAM soon though. Also, my vid card seems to run a bit hot. It idles around 58 C - 60 C, but BIOS tells me my processor is only at 44 C, I believe. Anyone know whats going on with that?

Thanks for any help

[claevade]

Try to check if you fan is running properly, maybe there is dust in it or it's not running smooth.

For the max and 60-70 fps I guess not. The RAM won't have to much effect on the FPS, but a lot on the loading (at least in BF1942 and BFV). The videocard would be fine, but the CPU is just on the edge. I think you just won't make high, still descent though.

max settings and running fps at 60-70 with a 6600 GT...keep dreaming!!! u may be able to run it on low at 60-70 and medium at 30-50...

[=MD=Alecto]

sauron, it's a new card, so I wouldn't think that their would be any dust problems with the fan yet. I'm planning on overclock my processor to 3 GHz though, would that help?

max settings and running fps at 60-70 with a 6600 GT...keep dreaming!!! u may be able to run it on low at 60-70 and medium at 30-50...

uh...the 6600 GT is a real powerful card. In FarCry i get 40-50 FPS at high, and I know someone who gets 90 FPS at the highest graphics.

[pvt. Claymore]

Which one of this two is better?
Geforce FX5700 256MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card

Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card

Is this worth upgrading a AMD Athlon XP 2400 to a AMD Athlon XP 3200 is there going to be a huge difference?

[=MD=Alecto]

For the price, the 6600GT is probably best. Although I don't know how the FX5700 performs, I have the 6600 and its cheap, powerful, and can even be overclocked to 600 Mhz core clock. It'd really be better to go with the PCI-E model if it's supported on your mobo, since you'd be able to upgrade just by getting another 6600GT when the time comes.

I'm thinking I will be able to run it on med/high settings. I can live with it on medium/high as long as it's smooth gameplay, even under heavy fighting. Does anyone disagree?

:confused:

(Also I can't find the 256MB verison of the 6600GT on newegg...but I want to buy there because they have sick prices on everything...)

Well I don't want the dual GPU, thats too much to spend...so am assuming the only way you can get a 6600GT 256MB is dual GPU. But I also have this server motherboard that supports dual AMD Operton processors. It has a PCI-X slot isn't this the same as a PCI-Ex16?

What kind of graphics card should I get if I want BF2 to run on all highest settings but still run smoothly?

Does anyone know if PCI-X is the same as PCI-E x16????

Please get back to me on this one. Thank you.

Definately a 6800GT if wanna spend a lot of money, a 6600GT maybe will do it

[shank]

No one has answered me yet, and I'm still confused does anyone know if I can run a PCI-E x16 card on a PCI-X interface??? I have this server motherboard that supports dual processors and I really want to use it for my system, as I got it FREE. It's a Tyan K8SR Thunder. It's got everything I want, enough room for a ton of RAM, dual processors , the only downside is I don't know if I can run a PCI-E x16 video card on the PCI-X interface....someone please help me...as I really need to know.

i dont see a problem unless u are using a old card...Just get a new card. :)

Conventional PCI graphics boards WILL function as normal PCI 2.x devices in any pci-x system. pci-x devices WILL operate at conventional PCI frequencies when installed in older systems.

For a PCI card to work in a pci-x slot it must indeed be 3.3Volts as apposed to the old 5V of older PCI cards. ATi site

Definately a 6800GT if wanna spend a lot of money, a 6600GT maybe will do it
I agree but if u dont want to spend that much to get a 6800gt, just get a plain 6800 and it will get high.

Now here lies the problem. I have a 250 watt power supply and i have a 9200 128mb....

Im really considering the 6600 256mb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814145112

Is this a good idea? And if i got that card would it do ok with the currect power supply? or no.

[claevade]

If you want a 6600 you better take the 128MB version, since that has DDR3. Also you will need a need power supply too.

[imported_<GN>John]

So the 128 is better than the 256? thats odd lol

[claevade]

No that's not what I said. For the 6600 I am quite sure the 256MB version doesn't use the faster DDR3, the 128MB version does.

[shank]

I'm still confused, the 6600GT default core and memory clock speeds are much higher than any other cards i've seen. 6800U is 400, 1100|6600GT 500,1000. So why are people suggesting 6800's and 6800U's? Is it because you can get them in the 256MB verison. From what I see in the 6600GT, paired up with a decent processor and like 2GB's of RAM, its a no doubter on high graphics.

I think you guys are underestimating the 6600GT. Thats just my opinion.

Well does anyone back me up on this one? 6600GT is being underestimated, does anyone else think this? First off, the 6800Ultra core and memory clock speeds are 400/1100, the 6600GT 500/1000. Even though the 6600GT only comes in 128MB it uses the faster DDR3
RAM. And you can OC the 6600GT. All I'm saying is if you get a decent processor and 1.5 to 2GB RAM you should be running it on high. Does anyone else agree? Just trying to save some people the time and money. And you can go ahead and get two of these beasts in an SLI setup. Now that would whoop some ***.

Sure if u get two in sli but just look at the benchmarks between the 6600gt and 6800. The 6800 always win. Clock speeds dont always mean better performance. Just look at AMD and intel.

I would get a 6800 over a 6600gt any day.

But the 6600gt is the best card for the money right now but wont out perform any 6800. Maybe it would get high setting but i know that a 6800 will. :)

Don't compare the speed of your processor compared to Pentiums. Your 2.0 Ghz 3200 is the equivalent if not faster than a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz. They are two completely different kinds of processors.

Im sure you can get high settings with that comp DICE still isnt done tweaking BF2 so the system requirements will probably be lower when it is released.

...That doesn't make much sense. Unless for some strange reason the 128 MB version is 256 bit and the 256MB is only 128 bit. But still, that doesn't seem likely. Perhaps the card is more expensive due to the company who is retailing it (what is the word I am looking for?)

[wild egg tamer]

I've been reading through this thread for what seems like ages and i've only got to page 8 or summat, anyhow i've given up trying to look for my particular specs and instead i'm gonna ask the question that everyone else has...........how good/bad will BF2 run on my pc knowing what we know now ?

My spec is as follows:-

athlon 2200xp
1Gb pc 2700 ram
Radeon 9700 pro (hercules)
audigy 1 s/c
19" crt monitor
1Mb Adsl

I'm going to be building a new pc soon anyhow but seeing as the game is out next month i'd like to at least be able to play it on this pc until such time as i have the funds to build a high spec pc.

I am able to play BFV with everything maxed out (all settings to highest) and AA and AF set to 4x at a resolution of 1024x768.

Well there are different brands that make these cards. So the cheaper 256mb dont have good cooling and the ones that are around 350+ do. They are just all made different and u get what u pay for. So if u get the cheapest 256mb it has the cheapest parts in it.

Well if u get a gt, u can oc it to ultra speeds and u might not need it now but later. Also it is very easy to oc.

I have a 6800 256mb... :D

Hey do you think I can manage to get high with these specs after i upgrade ram to 1gb?

I dont see a problem. U might have to oc the card just to keep the fps up. :)

[tewky]

ok ok now help me! lol I want to know if i could play...


CPU 2.80GHz
1 Gigabytes of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 128mb

...? :confused: LOW? MEDIUM? HIGH :laugh: ?

If I can't what is a better PCI video card? I don't have a AGP or PCI express :mad: slot

You could most likely play medium.

[=TS=High^Risk]

You could most likely play medium.
Hell no you are wrong man, I have the FX 5200 128MB and it can hardly run Battleifeld Vietnam and the kid has the same specs I have. ;)

[imported_<GN>John]

well i can run doom 3 and hl2 on absolute highest.....ill run bf2..if it blows then ill get a 9600xt 256mb.

If he aint BSing me then what the hell do I need?

Video Card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102335)
Will this be a good card to get for BF2, and will it run well without any lag

[Killj00]

it's an average card. It's pretty old too. You may be able to run it on low settings without any lag. If u were to spend about 200-250 bucks, u can get an x700 which won't run it on top settings, only medium. If u wanna run stuff on max settings go for expensive cards that cost 500 bucks such as the 6800 Ultra, X850 XT and X850 XT PE, X800 XT PE.

[BDFtaylor18]

i dont have that kind of money

[_Hazard_]

u dont need a 500 dollar video card to run this game on high. A 6600 GT (200 bucks) might be able to get high but will get med no prob. A 6800 will get high for sure (300 bucks)

[BDFtaylor18]

thats still pretty expensive

[Killj00]

a 500 dollar card will run it on high with max AA and AF for this game, and upcoming games ^^

[imported_<GN>John]

God guys this is simply rediculas......500 bucks???? WOW.

[BDFtaylor18]

Video Card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814139170R) what about this one, would it be good for BF2
yea im not gunna spend 500 bucks just to get the best performance for this game, i just want video card to where i will get good performance

[Killj00]

the 6600GT will definately get u running on medium with no problems. However, if i were to get a 6600 GT it wouldn't be that brand "Jaton". Go for somethin like an MSI/Leadtek/Asus/Gigabyte 6600 GT. ^^

[BDFtaylor18]

will they be around the same price as the one i posted?

[Killj00]

they're all more expensive by about 30-50 bucks.

Count on low settings with this setup, it will probably run it, but I guess on Low-Medium at maximum.

I would get the 6600 over the other but why not get the 6600gt......that card would last alot longer than a plain 6600. U can find a 6600gt for around $180us.

But neways a 6600 should get mid video settings but if u get a 6600gt u would get high. You have a nice computer to go with that card and that 6600gt would last at least two years.

P4 2.4GH

Ti4200 <-- i know it can't run BF2

so which 6600GT should i get? 128mb or 256mb. I'm worried my computer can't support the 6600GT. somebody said it might bottleneck or something i don't understand or other thing such as PCI-E? SLI? or enough power supply.

sorry i'm totally noob about comp :confused: please help me! if you need me to list my other specs or motherboard please reply

well if you have an AGP slot it should handle a 6600gt and it only comes in 128mb but its GDDR3 so its good stuff but with that you should be able to run it on med. you wouldnt want PCI-E because your motherbord probably doesnt support it

Do u have a intel or amd chip.

Yeah u will get high settings with that card. :)

a 6600 GT will run some settings on high and some on medium. If you try to even turn up AA and AF, you will lag, no doubt!

Guys i really find it hard that the 9600's and above (for the most part) and the 5600's and above (again for the most part) all can run half-life 2 and other games that are graphically intense at REAL HIGH......so tell me why with a 9600xt 256mb im reading...."OMFG DUDE THAT SUCKS IT WONT EVEN RUN THE GAME" The Dev's have said a card that supports 1.4 shadders and 256mb of ram would be nice.

I personally have a 5500 oc'ed to a 5800 w/ 256mb.....it runs any game i can throw at it ON HIGHEST .....now tell me why on God green earth it couldnt even barely handle bf2 on medium? It runs half-life 2 and doom 3 on highest settings.....

Im not wanting like 1024 X 768 resolution with 16 AA and AF and everything in your control panel up..... I would like a 1024 x 768 resolution with nothing turned on in my control panel (including AA and AF) but have textures at around 80% and other things up around that percentage...........its simply doesnt make since.

Each game has a different engine. Reasons y u run hl2 and doom 3 well are : HL2 is designed to run well on low-end systems, they just designed the game to look good even on crap cards. Doom 3 is an OGL (open gl), and guess wat, nvidia has an advantage in open gl games cause there cards are slightly better @ running games that are open gl. (they're just designed that way). With bf2 however, this engine is brand new, ure gonna be having tons of explosions and crap, i just think ure fps is gonna drop to like 1 or smth in big battles at max settings excluding AA and AF. You may be able to run it on max settings with only a few ppl in the server ^^

What about the Gigabyte X800 Pro ?

@ Niekyg: u'll be fine to run it on top settings.

[Niekyg]

Great :D :D

[imported_<GN>John]

So with medium textures and medium graphic detail......not even 50 fps then huh.

[imported_<GN>John]

Overall i think we are all going to just have to wait....no one knows what the engine will be like......it could be somewhat like hl2's only MUCH better that way i could atleast get some form of nice gameplay........ah hell i can hope right? lol

yea u might be able to get med (but with a lot of lag and about 15-25fps) with that card, u dont understand how much is going to go on in bf2 all at the same time and you are going to need a video card that can keep up with it. the game engines can only do so much so even if they had a engine like hl2 or doom 3 you can run on low at 800x600 and should be lag free, but we just need to wait for the demo.... so where are u going for vacation, i wish i could go. ;)

I don't care if everything is high, i do require full draw/view distance, and some others on high - med high.
I ususally run games at 800x600 anyway. The ones i've tested higher resolutions on, all it done was make things smaller or didn't effect it at all. I think we'll all be surprised at how well it runs.

Yeah i would just get the 6800gt. Both are greats cards. :)

are they about the same price?

Yeah that would get whatever settings you want. Have u thought about getting a 6800gt over that ati card? I would get the 6800gt if u could find one for the same price....

[wild egg tamer]

yeah am kinda thinking maybe go for a nvidia card and a sli board for a bit of future proofing.........whats the top nvidia card, is it the 6800 gt ultra or summat ? I can't keep up with all the different card names....... :hmm:

[Crille]

That would be the 6800 Ultra, although I think you should buy a 6800GT and just overclock it.

[wild egg tamer]

hmmm, this whole overclocking thing scares me..........i'm fine to build a pc but to then crank everything up to max until it reaches breaking point seems kinda odd to me ! :hmm:

joking aside, is it easy to overclock a gfx card ? I've read bits ob it and it seems you can d/l apps that will do it automatically for you........how good are these apps ?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121190R

Also will this card get high settings and is it worth buying?

[-=Nick=-]

my friend is planning to buy the 6800 agp 128mb and asked me if that would get high on bf2 and i didnt know about it becauce it was 128mb... what do you guys think

yes the 6800 does have sm 3.0 and that is a good card and it will run bf 2 on high easy

[BDFtaylor18]

Ok what will be the best card and get the best performance on BF2

The Geforce 6800 256MB
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814121190R

Or

Radeon X800XL 256MB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814142036R

[thedude]

Depends if you are going to use SLI or not. But one on one the x800xl will probly beat 6800.

In battlefield the 6800 will kill the x800xl b/c bf2 like doom3 supports sm3.0. So u will get about 5-10 fps. Also the game is "designed" to run on nvidia....

Seems ATI has fallen pretty far behind. :confused:

[BDFtaylor18]

ok i think im just gunna be stickin with the GeForce 6600GT 128MB video card because i dont have the money to get the 6800gt 256mb card, do u think i will get alot of lag using the 6600gt card?

and also i have a geforce fx 5200 128mb card right now, and it runs pretty good on BFV on medium settings, and when i clean out my disk space and turn firewall off it runs pretty good on BFV online, how come the 6600gt 128mb wont get good settings, some people say it will get low mid settings and others say it can get mid high settings, which is true? i have no clue, people just say differnt things everytime...

well we dont really know what the game is going to be like, but the 6600gt should get high w/o any lag but if you turn up AA and AF you might see some lag.. what is the rest of you system because if it is a good system the card will work fine with the game

I agree.

I'm not a hardware expert but I would think that nVIDIA graphics cards will perform better than ATI since the game was devloped and optimized using nVIDIA's technology. I'm not sure what technology differances there are between ATI and nVIDIA as far as rendering, but I'm not going to take any chances. I am going to get a GeForce 6800GT just to be safe.

What the total price??

Like $1,200 <--includes shipping

[Refused|64270]

whoo, first time poster, long time reader. love the site.

What can I expect from this setup?

2800+ Athlon XP oc @ 2.29ghz
1gig pc3200 400mhz
PNY 6600GT AGP 8x
40gig H/D

I can run HL2 at all high settings but I do experience lag at the high stress levels (same with CS:S in a 20+ server) That's what I was worrying about.. is BF2 more/same or less demanding than HL2 if I want to run at high settings.
What's most important is that I can get a nice gaming atmosphere without lag. Am I good or what?

[KB-smoker]

I would say u would get some setting on high but not all. But i wouldnt upgrade anything...

But bf2 is more demanding than hl2.

I have a p4 2.0 running at 2.6, 1 gig pc3200 dualchannel and a leadtek 6800LE unlocked to 12/6 running at 390/870. I am gettin roughly 10000 points in 3dmark 03.

How do you think BF2 will run on my setup?

Thanks

Well u should get high/max settings. The only thing i can see being a problem is ur p4. But if u do have it oc to 2.6 it shouldnt be a problem. :)

[claevade]

Yes, but leave the AF and AA off, makes no sence anyway, Medium detail in combination with AA/AF. Without that you will run it on Medium fine.

Sorry for the extraneous info. but I'm worried that my processor is now a major bottleneck. I moved from a ATI 9700 to the x800 and did notice an FPS jump but in heavy scenes (firefights, etc...) things still start to lag. Obviously I'm running at max settings (no AA) - for $300 I should spit out HL2 at 1024 no problem; and for the most part I do except in heavy scenes when it really counts.

my main question:
Which processor do y'all recommend? Do you think that is the problem? Is it worth upgrading to an AMD Athlon XP 3000+/3200+ Barton proc? Will I notice much of a difference?

I really don't want to have to run at medium settings with BF2 and an x800XL.

Also - I have an SFF box so OC'ing isn't really an option for me. (can't tweak the volts plus heat is a real issue)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Damn SFF Box? I was about to say if it is possible, try for a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ at this point. If money is an issue, you can try a 3000+ (beware of the ones with FSB of 333) or 3200+, as long as your ram is DDR 400. I say wait til the demo and judge from there to be honest.

I could be wrong, but I heard ATI's X-series cards weren't too "friendly" performance wise if the CPU wasn't fast enough, while the nVidia 6-cards were friendy to a point.

[Crille]

"Right on", lol exacly, dude that x800xl is a great card but on that processor it can´t do anything much. The x800 series demand a strong CPU. A good one for the x800xl would be around 3500+. Although according to reviews at guru3d.com
even a 4000+ has it´s moments with the x800 when it is actually to slow for it.

Read the minimum system requirements it will not run BF2. You need at least a 128mb vid card like Smoker said. You can probably find some vid cards here at a decent price :) http://www2.newegg.com/index.asp

I would say medium but you should upgrade your RAM to 1gb just to be safe.

[imported_Cleric]

That's exactly what I'm thinking, thanks.

im running
intel pentium 3.20e [800mhz system bus] [1mb l2 cahce]
2gb ddr ram [not sure what its called]
160 gb harddrive
GeForce fx 5800 256mb

i havent installed that pc yet so still on my old one
but old one has 1.7, 512 mb ram and fx 5800 256mb
and it runz doom3 on high farily and half life 2 in high bout 30-40 fps
so wat would my NEW pc run bf2? would it go on high and get 30-40 fps???
It wouldn't get high b/c that video card is old. Maybe some video settings on medium but most on low. Have you thought about upgrading your video card also?

[Victoriouse]

If u don't have a card which supports shaders 1.4 the game won't run ?

[claevade]

Yes, you need 1.4 or above to be able to run this game, following the specs.

[Lamarr]

[rockhound]

i have:
AMD XP2600+ @ 2.01GHZ
Saphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB
1024 MB Ram

i guess i will be able to play @ medium right?

i was thinking about buying AMD 3200+ but if BF2 works good i'm gonna wait with that till i buy a new 64bits system.

prob medium yeah, i used to have that rig and i could only play BFV realistically on medium, so i dunno, BF2 maybe med/low. we shall see i guess.

dont upgrade to a 3200+ when you upgrade go to at least 3500/3700 64 bit
