Get this and it'll run BF2 max graphics at max resolution, and CoD4 max graphics and resolution.

integrated GPU for gaming is just a bad idea. BF2 may run, but it won't be an enjoyable experience. Pick up a 9600GT or what finny linked

That's funny, I have that exact one, and a C2D @3.6 GHz, and I'm getting 125 fps capped with max graphics at 1280x1024..

@Crazed, they used Single Player, on All Ghillied Up. The most graphically demanding map in the game. I do get around 40-60fps in that. I play multiplayer Marine maps, which are less graphically demanding. Chances are OP will too.

Yes, I was showing how a 4870, or GTX280 for that matter, don't achieve 125FPS on max settings. Yet yours does.

Awsm innit?

I was quite amazed myself.

Core clock is upped to 850, and memory to 1045, shouldn't boost a 4670 past a 4870 should it?

Wut? You mean don't achieve 125 constantly or they do not achieve 125FPS at all?

True-ish. FPS for me, on max details, 4x AA, filtering on max and 1680 x 1050 results in FPS anywhere between 90 and 150. On average.

I average about 70-80 with my 4850, and AMD 4800+ @ 3GHz @ 1680x1050.

Ive never fell below a 100fps on COD4 max details 4x AA, 1920x1080

on topic: everything in that computer will run bf2 well... except as stated the lack of a dedicated graphics card.

I wouldn't game on onboard graphics. What's your budget? I'm sure we can find something more suitable for you. Have you ever thought of self building a machine?

It doesn't and you fail to tell that you use a graphics config so obviously you get high fps.

So going into options and hitting optimal system settings and then changing the res to 1280x1024 is a config? Mk then.
