you have a nice system but you should think about getting 1gb of ram and you will notice a big differance in speed and loading time... the 6600gt is a good choice

your computer will run it but you will get around low... the minimum specs are 1.7ghz, 512 ram and a 128mb card, so you might want to think about a new processer too... if you get a 3.0ghz and a 6600gt along with that gb of ram you will get alot on high

my settings:
cpu: Athlon XP 2400+ 1.8ghz
ram: 1GB
video:
a) current: nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB
b) will have soon: ATI Radon 9600XT 256MB

what i need to know:

what settings will my current system run (with the upgraded card)?

i know my cpu should be upgraded to run the game on high, but i'm not sure to what to get?

claevade
05-27-2005, 06:49 AM
Well a 9600XT as a new card doesn't seem as a good idea, since it will hardly be any better. You have to go for at least a 6600GT to get some improvements. With either the 5200 or 9600XT you would have to play with most settings on low.

I checked the Minimum Specs from the Spanish EA site and my video card works.

currently a fx5500 oc'ed to something better lol

Now what im looking into getting is either a 6600GT and overclock it OR a normal non GT version of the 6800 and overclocking it.

My question is which will get me close to max settings? I really want the game to look good.......but im not rich and i wasted alot of money on that damn 5500 but hell i got a 480watt Power supply outa the deal lol....and it has neon lights....oooooooo lol

Ace101
05-31-2005, 07:55 PM
BHO get the 6800 regular or if u want to spend a bit more, the 6800 GT which can be OCed to ultra speeds. The 6600 will NOT get you high in BF2 but the 6800 will...

its a nice computer but that 6600 sucks, you will need to get atleast a 6800 to play bf2 with everything on high, and you are paying way to much, you can easaly bulild one for about $600 that will play bf2 on high and with that extra $269 you can get a nice 17" flat pannel.

How is the perfomance when settings/resolution is maxed?

damnit... this happened to me before except i didnt chang any bios settings, but i sent it to this costom computer place and they fixed it. i dont want to do that this time because it took them two weeks to get to mine so im going to try and fix it myself, also i dont have enough money for a new motherboard.lol

It would be helpful if whoever you bought it from gave you the motherboard booklet. Its called resetting the CMOS. Its usually finding a little jumper that is connecting two pins and then moving it to different pins for a few seconds. If you tell me what mobo it is then i may be able to help.

get the 6600GT over the normal 6600 .....256mb of onboard ram doesnt make it better.

the GT has ddr3

If you can save your money (like me) and get a 6800GT.....

I know its alot of money but heres how i saw it.

The 6600GT cost 150-190....
The 6800GT cost 290ish...

a little over 100 dollars but the difference is HUGE!

And you wont need to upgrade for a while.

Well if you had a higher end card such as a 6800 it would matter....

If you take two 6800's and put 256 on one and 128 on the other and those cards are 100% equal otherwise then yes the 256 will be better.

But you gotta look at other things such as core speed and memory speed.... DDR3 is faster than DDR.....

I think the X700PRO vs 6600GT discussion has been had. But I at least have chosen the HIS X700 Pro IceQ Turbo (http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=139&view=yes) (reviews here (http://www.hisdigital.com/html/awards.php?year=any&country=any&features=any&award_review=any&awardtype=any&product=HIS+X700+Pro+IceQ+TURBO+VIVO+Edition&adv_product=&search=Search)), simply because it can hold its own against the 6600GT and it has 256MB RAM, which I believe will make a difference in load times and such, come BF2.

I'm not an ATI-fan, I seriously considered the 6600GT, because it's performance was unmatched in that pricerange, but with the HIS Turbo series, you can basically hit "Turbo" in the control panel, and you get performance equal to the X700XT because of the custom cooling system (from Arctic Cooling). In fact, some HIS X700PRO cards are actually equipped with left-over X700XT chips (here (http://www.tweaktown.com/document.php?dType=review&dId=733&dPage=3) and here (http://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/VGA/HIS_X700Pro_IceQ/pg_3.htm)), which I think is rather cool. ATI has cancelled the X700XT now, btw.

That being said, the only situations where stock X700PRO's (even the HIS) can compete against any 6600GT is in higher resolutions (1280+) with AA/AF activated, and in Doom3 the X700PRO is blown away by miles (as usual). I recommend this review (http://www.tbreak.com/reviews/article.php?cat=grfx&id=352&pagenumber=1) if you want to see some benchmarks yourself.

The reason the HIS is competitive in my eyes is its extra RAM and the fact that when you overclock it, it gets that extra kick that makes it all worth it.

You can play it ok, but that 5700le might prevent your processor from doing it´s job, additionally not being able to give good graphics. But none of us really know if bf2 will be sucking the most juice from the graphics card,the processor, or the Ram... Probably low details because of the 5700le.

You planning on getting a 6600GT or the likes of that?

GeForce 4 isnt supported in BF2 and you need more RAM..
Minimum requirements is 512MB Ram and with only that i think you have to wait like 5-10 Minutes (Or more!) everytime you are joining a server..!
But the CPU is good enough. If i were you i would sell the 256MB Ram and buy 2x512MB and sell the Geforce4 and buy a 6600GT or something like that!

geforce 6800 ocHave you tried running Aqumark3/3DMark and comparing your results with those in their databases? If you get scores way under other people's with similar hardware configurations, there's something hogging your system, or it may be underclocked, or there is some other bottleneck. If your scores are similar, it's your stuff and BF2 that don't match up.

where would there be a bottleneck?.. someone told me its because i have a celeron processer and they arnt good for gaming, i thought a processer was a processer and they all would do the same job... i only got a 2666 on the 3D mark. :cry: :hmm: :mad:

The Celeron isn't that good for gaming though, that's true, but I wouldn't think that much of a problem, since you have 2.6GHz. I don't think that's it.

Any misconfiguration ought to show up in 3DMark though - you got 2600 in 3DMark05? That's not bad, actually. Try doing a search on these forums for '3dmark05' and check out other people's scores (and disregard the m@d haxx0rz who get 6000+ out of their 4GHz SLI machines :-D).

Do you have AA or AF enabled in the game or in your graphics drivers? Try using nothing but default settings in you graphics driver, and default (high) settings in BF2. .. otherwise I'm at a loss :-/

Will this run BF2 graphics with everything on high?

will it be laggy, or smooth?

will it be laggy, or smooth?I doubt the X300 will run it on high. Is it one of those cards with hardly any on-board memory (HyperMem or whatever its called)? Cause it then uses 128MB of system RAM for graphics, which slows things down further.

In any case, it's core runs at something like 325MHz and DDR-1 memory at 400MHz (double rate), so it's not much compared to, say, 460/960 for my HIS X700PRO, which isn't even all that.

Unless you plan to seriously overclock that baby, you'd better consider getting a new graphics card. I hear the 6600GT is very popular (and inexpensive)...

not with that card... there is now way, it would be like 3fps on high. but if u get a new card like a 6800 or a 6800gt you should get high

for about $50 more than the x700pro you could get THIS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130202) geforce 6800 that i have and overclock it a little (i am running 396/849) and get high on bf2, but make sure you have everything configured right. lol

just download the demo to see for your self, if you can play bf2 it will be on low. that card is old so even know its 128mb it will have slow clock speeds like 400mhz 128bit memory when the 6600gt is running gddr3 900-1000mhz 128bit memory

the proccessor and the RAM.

system reqs are : minimum:


512MB RAM(you need more than 512 to make it run)
at least 128MB graphics card that support s1.4 shaders
4GB hard drive space
2.8mhz processor
with your cutsom pc, which is similar to one of mine, it will run with textures, geometery, terrain, effects and sound on high, but not the dynamic lights and shadows. it will also be laggy like a muffin.

Recomended: 256MB Graphics card
1GB RAM
4GB hard drive space
3.0 mhz processor



as far i as i know, it will run on low to medium without lag, high with mondo lag-o-rama

Can you post some screenshots of a tank or something in both ways ?? ( with and without dymanic lights )

One thing i´ve noticed is that AA through the game lags me a lot but if i selected it from nvdia control panel at windows it goes ok and witout mayor stuttering.

I´m at:

AMD 64 3500
ASUS A8V
1GB DDR 400 Corsair 2.5 at 3.0 cas

GEforce 6800 @ GT with rivatuner for 68.13 drivers. Though i Dont know if this overclok works actually with the 77.30...

I´ve set the game at 1024x768 at 100 hertz everything in high except textures and lightingwhich are at medium setting. AA At 2XQ from windows and anistropic also at 4X from windows.
NVIDIA quality setting.

Im doing like 55-60fps average. It normally goes at 65 fps or so..

What do you think??

well i dont really know about the screenshot thing, i think it takes it how it looks on your screen... i wish i could get 65fps, when i run the game on 800x600 on med high i average about 20-30 normally around 23.lol i hope when i get a new processer it will help

Just ran the demo w/Fraps running and this is what I got:

First my system:

WD SATA drives x 2 in RAID 0
and bunch of other stuff crammed inside a Thermaltake Tsunami mid-tower

(need to upgrade my mobo and get some PCI Xpress cards in sli...; ;)

ok now that I got that out of the way....

Demo running on all High netted me between 28-41 fps
Demo running on Med. netted me 37-50 fps

That's what I got I guess I'll need to tweak around some but for info. purposes thought I might throw that out there^^

Ok really sorry to add yet another one of these but im really curious as to how well bf2 should run with my set up.

512 ddr stick
Radeon 9700 pro

...thats all that should matter anyway, but I've briefly played the demo and it runs great on medium settings some of the time but was beginning to look a little choppy in some servers as well. Im pretty sure i should be able to run it moderately well so i dont know why that was happening. I know i should get anothert 512 stick and i plan on it. What should i technically be able to run settings wise?

A store is making it for me, for $1200, and thats including the video card and monitor. Is that a good buy? And will that be able to play decently, and if not, whats holding me back? Thanks all.

So does that mean that the computer I'm planning on buying will work on medium atleast:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
FX 5700 256MB video card
1GB RAM

OMG they are ripping you off!! Don't you DARE pay $1200 for that rig!! That's like a $150 processor and a $75 video card! Plus, if your building a whole new comp you should definitely go PCI-Express.

You should definitely check around the web for a better deal. www.cyberpowerinc.com has some decent prices. They will custom build a computer for you for a good price.

Whatever you do, don't buy that rig from that shop!! They are ripping you off bad. With that setup you would have to play BF2 on low settings probly.

For $1200 you can build a sweet machine that can run BF2 smoothly on high settings.

I agree with Cowboy, that is a ripoff. However, Cyberpower isn't much better - my old roommate is looking at getting a new rig and he sent me a link to one of their machines, I spec'd the exact same thing out at Newegg for $200 less. Plus they use some questionable products for sure. It's always better to BYO, if you have the time and effort (doesn't take much) you know what you're getting and what you're paying.

I've been running the demo on med-high settings and getting some lockup issues, which pisses me off considering my specs. I beleive it's my card or onboard audio eating up resources- but want to know if anyone else is running a similiar setup and found a remedy other than dropping the ching for a new vid card, while saving quality.

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum MOBO
Mushkin 2x512mb DDR 3200 RAM
Power Color ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb AGP (most recent drivers)

Any help or recommendations for settings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have:
-an old AMD Athlon 2600+ with Barton Core (really only runs at 1.9 Ghz),
-1 GB cheap ram in dual channel mode
-40GB WD hard drive for my boot drive
-250GB Hitachi hard drive for storage and programs
-eVGA nVidia GeForce 6800GT (AGP 8X) with 256 MB ram
-550 watt power supply

My computer is old, but throwing in that new video card made ALL the difference. I upgraded from an old Radeon 8500 with only 64 MB ram and it DID run BF2, and smooth too, but with all the settings as low as they would go. With the 6800GT, I have all the settings maxed out including using 4x anti-aliasing. I sometimes get lag on certain servers, but it's usually the server's fault. Anyway, BF2 allows the settings to go pretty low, so no one should be too terribly concerned if their computers are at least 2 years old or newer. It's the video card that takes the brunt of the work load for this game so make sure that's up to par. But atleast it's an easy upgrade.

Of course it's always better to build your own, but that guy obviously doesn't know how. If he knew anything about computers then he never would have posted asking if that p.o.s. was a good deal!! That's why I recomended cyberpower, cause only paying $200 above the parts cost, with an OS and warranty included is a deal if you can't BYO.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

I am building from www.ecollegepc.com and I am getting:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1 GB Corsair Select
eVGA 7800 GTX PCI-e
80 GB HDD
DVD/CDRW Combo Drive
420 Watt Power Supply and Case

For 1200. 1197 if you wanna be exact. Lol at you paying the same price and getting a 5700 and then me getting a 7800. Check out ecollege pc, build a custom PCI-E AMD computer.

Well while I am here, I should be able to run BF2 on all high settings smoothly with

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1 GB Corsair Select
eVGA 7800 GTX PCI-e

right?

alright i have an hp that i thought was crazy good until i saw all the ridiculously high-end specs that most of the people have posting here.

Intel pentium 4 processor
768mb RAM (1 stick of pc3200 512 and 1 stick of pc2100 256 comp only has 2 slots)
Geforce FX 5500 128mb graphics
Intel 825e chipset
120gb hard drive

Now i can't just go "grab" or "pick up" some fancy graphics card or more RAM anytime soon so i just want to know if i can play bf 2 and have a good time without a whole bunch of choppiness or ugly lag that make the game not fun. I would still like to keep some of the great graphics that this game has to offer.

Your rig will run it fine.

You do need to get your memory at the same speed and at least up to a full gig.

If you have to have extremly insane graphics, which this game is more than capable of, then shell out the $900 for a BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card.
