Hm, every day there are at least three-four new topics about:

How can I run BF2 in high settings?

Which GPU should I take to run BF2 in high settings?

Which CPU should I take to run BF2 in high settings?

How much RAM do I need to run BF2 in high settings?

So I think, fellow techfreaks, to make it easier for technoobs to find an answer let´s put all your recommended stuff in just one topic.

Well here´s mine for ultrahigh, high and average:

for ultrahigh settings I would say:
CPU: AMD64 4000+ or higher
GPU PCI-E: 2x Nvidia 7900GTX 512MB or ATI X1900XT Crossfire
RAM: 4096 MB
resolution: 1900 x 1600 (19" LCD)
AA full (driver settings)
AF full (driver settings)
BF2 graphics options: everything on high

for high settings I would say:
CPU: AMD64 3800+ or higher
GPU PCI-E: 1x Nvidia 7900 GT 256MB or ATI X1800
GPU AGP: 1x Nvidia 7800GS 256MB, 6800 ULTRA 256MB
RAM: 2048 MB or higher
resolution: 1280 x 1024 (19" CRT)
AA 8x
AF 4x
BF2 graphics options: everything on high

for average settings I would say:
CPU: AMD64 3200+ or higher
GPU AGP: 1x Nvidia 6800GT 256MB, 6600GT 256MB, FX5950ULTRA, ATI X800, X850XT
GPU PCI-E: 1x Nvidia 7600GT 256MB, 6600GT 256 MB
RAM: 1024 MB or higher
resolution: 1024 x 768 (17" CT)
AA: 4x
AF: off
BF2 graphics options: everthing on high, expect light on medium, shadows on medium

This are my recommended specs, feel free to post yours.
sidenote: I´ve only named AMD CPUs because Im not too familiar with Intel stuff, further, those specs are only a hint, thats why I have put "or higher" behind everything. I have four similar rigs atm, my components are bright and this is only my exp. with those PCs.

Hmm.. Hope this is the relatively right place for this.
I'm getting this setup in about a week and hope I'll be able to run BF2 on atleast slightly better then medium quality...

GFX: Geforce 7600 GT 512MB PCI Express x16
CPU: (Socket AM2) AMD Athlon X2 3800+
RAM: Corsair 2GB (1GB x2) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
MoBo: GigaByte GA-M55SLI-S4 nForce4 SLI Chipset DDR2/800 SATA 16x PCI-Express

I've been told it will run well on BF2, but just want a second opinion...

** my first of hopefully many post on these boards **

Hi Drac2gunz, welcome to the forums.

Your new systems will run BF2 is high settings, I will say, rise everthing to the max, expect of AA and AF. It´s always trial and error, maybe lower shadows and lights to medium, but all in all, I think a high setting will fit with average FPS of 50-70.

Slayer: ---hates you; +1,137|7000|Hell, p.o box 666

nope.

memory is not to be replaced with anything besides more memory!!!

Especially if you got a SLI- or Crossfire rig, the maps load much more faster. But thb, 2048 MBs are enough for high settings in this game with a highend GPU (7900GT 7900GTX X1900XT etc).

Slayer: ---hates you; +1,137|7000|Hell, p.o box 666

hm, your CPU is average (it´s clocked 2.2 right?), your RAM is pretty ok and also your GPU seems fine.

I would try high settings, without AA, AF, shadows and lights on medium. Resolution 1200 x 1024 (depending on your monitor). Should give you 50-60 FPS...

So I should be okay with a Core 2 duo E6700, 2 gigs of ram and dual 256 7900 GT's? What kinda FPS should I expect?

I have an AMD 3200+ O/C to 2.6
BFG 7800 GS O/C to 430/1300
RAM 1.5 Gigs
I run BF2 with everything on high at 1024x768, AF 4X, AA 8X. With fraps i'm getting A steady 55-65 fps. Everything runs smooth and nice. What is the lowest fps someone can play with before getting pissed off and throwing the computer out the window. I would like to turn the resolution up but would sacrifice FPS. Don't know if it is worth it. Any answers.

I have a P4 3.0, a 6800GS, set at 1280x1024, everything maxed, and I get 45ish fps.

Anything over 30 fps, the human eye cannot detect. Do not listen to people telling you to get SLI, 4 Gigs of RAM, and super high end cards.

You just need

1) an average processor ($200US)
2) a little above average video card ($200US)
3) 2 Gigs of RAM to max out everything. (various prices depending on manufacturer...about $150US)
