So I can't play BC2 because my Laptops graphics aren't good enough.
Does this mean I have to get a new computer?

No, it means you need more Irish Midgets running around inside your computer to give it magical power.Narupug wrote:

I'm actually quite pleased at how well it runs on my system.. I regard mine as a very mid-range set up, and I get a steady 30 FPS at max 1280x1024. Doesn't really work at that resolution for MP games, but at least it's barable.
It's the best system I've gotFinray wrote:

It's hard to be dirt poor and play the latest games at the same time

I'm trying to save for the aforementioned setup, but instead of a 5850 I'll get another 5770 and CF the one I have just now.
I might go for an i5 though.. not too much more, and it has that turbo boost feature. Basically shuts off cores that aren't in use (for example; in games without quad-core support) and boosts the speed of the in-use cores.
What's the cheapest computer I could build that would run BFBC2?
My mom's E5200 @ 3.4GHz with a 8800GT 512MB plays BFBC2 decently @ mid settings @ 1240x1024
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

60fps average, maybe 35fps low

I've got a dual core (2.8GHz), 4GB RAM, and a GTX260 and it runs smooth for me on 1680x1050 with 2xAA
I'm not suggesting you get a E5200. Socket 775 is a dead platform. But it does show that BC2 doesn't need a crazy PC to run

So essentially I need to upgrade my graphics card (although BC2 probably doesn't like my Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz processor)max wrote:

BC2 eats CPU power like crazy. The E5200 PC is limited by the CPU, not the GPU.
A fast quad core is the way to go for BC2. Post up your specs.

Truth... The frostbite engine was made for consoles, which have CPUs the size of rooms. Just another example of PCs getting screwed over by consoles yet again...max wrote:

At least they are not doing just a port to PC which is disaster in terms of performance.Finray wrote:

They are adding DX10 and DX11 support, and rewriting the engine for PC. With optimisations and better graphics coming in retail version.
