BF2S Forums Post your recommended specs for BF2 high settings here!

What are some good sites in the Netherlands to purchase computer parts?

lol, I wouldn't say crap... but

We both have the same problem, if your going to buy memory you really need 2G now a days.
There is problem one, you'll probably need DDR2 not DDR for your next machine.

Video cards are really pissing me off too.

The "best" reasonable card to get in AGP is a 7600GS or x850 they both run in the 150-200 range.

Not bad at all, but considering you can spend 200 and get a 7900GT which totally smashes both of those cards? Well your kind of an idiot spending 150-200 in AGP... unless you have some kind of kick ass AGP system already. Also considering the 8-series n-vidia is coming out those 79XX's are going to come down in price.

What truly PO's me is we never maxed out the AGP 8x anyways. There is truly no reason why the graphics people couldn't make a 7900GS or X1900 in AGP format.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong... but here are some facts!!!

An X850XT AGP generally out performs or matches the performance of the PCI-E.

AGP 8X basically offers the bandwidth of PCI-E 8.5x a little better than half a PCI-e 16x.

So what can PCI-E cards do with 8x PCI-E? Well how about quad GPU's with a two dual GPU cards in SLI mode. This can be done over a 8x 8x configuration.

Now are the graphic manufactures telling us that PCI-E is better or just cheaper for them.

[/rant]

Anyways if I could I'd buy a 7900GT for 200 bucks in AGP like you can in PCI-E.... hell, tommorrow, I'd buy two.

Well, pretty nice I made you laugh. Your rant made me laugh. Your unablilty to use the quote function also.

Anyways, I dont know you, where should I from, you´ve just registered here. Man, I own four systems and looking to your sig, even my weakest systems overwhelms yours any ways. Your system is average and will fit the above mentioned average settings.

You compare a crappy X800GTO with a FX5950ULTRA?! Yeah, you can compare those cards for sure. The FX5950ULTRA was released two years before the X800GTO and is still a match for it. Shader 2.0, Direct X8.0 features (ok the x800 has 9.0) but it´s not faster or better than the FX5950.

When I bought BF2 I´ve runned it on a AMD64 3200+ with 1024MB and a FX5950ULTRA in the above mentioned settings with 1024 x 768 and AA4x.

Further, above mentioned settings are average settings, nowhere is stated that those are for high settings.

And your sentence about nobody running BF2 with high terrain and high textures with 1GB, bwahahahahaha, fail man fail. Where is the problem for a 7900GTX to run those settings with only 1GB? Nowhere.

A 7600GT can run BF2 on ultra high? Sure, with a core 2 duo maybe and compared to a X1900 or 7900GTX the diffrences are worlds. And ultra high? Do you know how to set those settings. Im not talking about the in game options. Ultra high is only possible with specific driver settings, but I think you´ll know better.

You should better done more research before flaming here.

Kthx4nothingbye

I'm gonna have to agree with sl4y3r, becuase my 5950 FX runs BF2 very well.

3.4 Pentium 4
2GB PC3200
5950FX 256MB

Keep in mind, this is a (old) PS rig, not a gaming one.

I'm running at 1280x1024 and everything on high except shadows and lighting, which are both medium. AA is at 2x and AF is off. My FPS is usually above 50. Sometimes it bogs down, such as when there's a lot of smoke and explosions, but it is rarely hindering to me.

actually not. I have five diffrent rigs (average and !337-h4x-uber) and use diffrent settings. I was just sick of 1.000 new topics about BF2 settings each day.

What do you think this comp could run on?

C2D E6600
7950GT 512mb
2gig DDR RAM

What would the load times be like?

Gonna give this system a run soon:

Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 4600+ AM2
Gecube Radeon X1950XTX 512MB
2G DDR2 PC5400/667 RAM

It should go ok. The main problem with my existing system (AMD Athlon XP 2500+, 1G DDR RAM, Radeon 9600) is the long load times. I start the game after everybody is already on their way to their first cap.

To run Battlefield 2 @ a playable frame rate and maintain the playable frame rate I recommend:

ATI x800XL or Nvidia 6800GT or higher.
AMD 64 3500+ or Intel P4 3GHz or higher.
2GB RAM (PC3200 or higher speeds)

Core 2 Duo T7200 @ 2.0 Ghz
L2 Cache 4,096 KB
2048 MB DDR Ram
NVIDIA Geforce Go 7900 GS
1920x1200

And this is a laptop. It plays BF2 all high flawlessly.

Hey computer_guy, your setup is much like mine

Case: P180B
CPU: Intel C2D E6400 (2.13Ghz)
RAM: 2x1024mb Kingston 667Mhz KIT
MOBO: GA-965P-S3
GPU: Leadtek 7900GS Extreme
PSU: Antec Neo Highly Efficient 2.2 500W
Optical: Pioneer DVR-111
HD: Seagate SATAII 320GB

System Cost: AU$2150

All on high @ 1280x1024.

Load times are awesome, blows away the old Quad-Core Xeon's (2.66Ghz 4xCPU w/ 2GB DDR400 Ram).
I can join a server, leave, then join again and on rejoining it takes 10 seconds to load (Map - Jalalabad)

i got a p43.2ghz

ati x600 pro? what settings do you reccomend?

Low-Medium for a descent FPS, its one thing getting all high, quite another to run it smoothly, with all the crap that goes on in this game.

Got all my parts bar GPU and PSU now so here is my new rig:

Case: Silverstone TJ09B-W
CPU: Intel C2D E6600 @ oc'd to 3.3Ghz
RAM: 4GB CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800)
Mobo: EVGA NF680i SLI, S775, PCI-E(x16)
GPU: G80 OR R600 still cant choose
PSU: 850W Coolermaster (is that to much you think?) ___________________________
OPTICAL: 18x DVD-RW drive X2
HD: 150GB 10k Raptor
Monitor: 22" Viewsonic VX2235wm

Need advice on the PSU, I have the lot bar that and the GPU which I wont be getting till march, and still need help with, I have an old 7600GT borrowed from a mate inside that rig and is getting its first test run tommorow yay   My luck it breaks down 8-)
