Im left with doom-like graphics using a radeon 9200se

hairball · 18-06-2005 01:27PM

yeh , I have to say I'm pretty lucky to have the set-up

freekhead · 18-06-2005 07:56PM

well i like it

and it runs fine on my spec

also getting over 150 fps and i havnt tweaked anything yet

Fionn_McCool · 19-06-2005 12:52PM

i was pretty amazed my machine even runs BF2 as well as it does.

AMD 2200+ 1.80GHz
512mb corsair 2700 (2 x 256mb)
Radeon 9600xt 128mb

Runs fine if all settings are on medium with 1024 x 768, view distance at 100% and AA on x2 but fps hovers around 30

I turned all the settings to low and left view distance at 100% and the AA at x2 and put resolution to 800 x 600 @ 85Hz, i know get 60-70 fps at all times.

pretty pleased with how it is running now, especially sinced i was worried i would have to get a good bit more RAM, although i will be doing so soon

Running grand on my rig in game, only problems I've had have been the 4 times it crashed while in a menu. Gets a little laggy when initially entering the map.

AMD 2600+
512 DRR 400MHz
128 6800LE

1024x768 Everything on Medium, Distence is um 80% I think. Have been too distracted with excitement to check FPS..

Well just bought Valdez's pc.

AMD 3000
1GiG crosair ram
Geforce GT 6800 256 MB

All high with AA x 4, FPS is about 30, On ship goes down to 15

Played with medium and AA x4, FPS was 40 to 50. So lookin good for me.

Turn AA off its doesnt do much only lags the game, glorious visuals are for Sp games not MP.

Agreed. Even if I had a machine capable of glorious graphics I would still turn the settings down to get a few more fps. Incidentally was playing on the tig server yesterday and hit a return key and knocked me out back to the desktop. Weird.

My poor girl and her p4 2.2 is struggling but playable , if I had the money I would up the chip . But I have to say that looking at some of ye're screen shots I does look excellent .

Ciaran500 · 20-06-2005 11:38AM

Doubt its the P4 holding you back.

petes · 20-06-2005 11:48AM

Its defo not the chip. More details would be handy. Im using a centrino 1.7 and it works.

p4 2.2 on an abit is7 socket 478
ati radeon 9800 pro

The cpu is probable the only worth while update I could afford , and sorry but I meant I couldn't play looking as good as some of the screen shots on here but I can play it and have done so alot more than I really should .

-Al- · 20-06-2005 04:08PM

A64 3000+ 939
1 gb ram
geforce 6800gt agp golden sample on a 19" tft

switched AA off though, but runs fine either way, the shadows are buggins me, but hopefully they'll be sorted in the retail.

Drapper · 21-06-2005 04:12PM

Sorry lads wondering if anyone can help!

What settings should I have, tried all but none seem 100%:-

6600GT
2gb Ram
p4 3.0 Oc'd to 3.3
19' Hyundai LCD LD90+ Monitor

including:-

Display Mode
Overal Quality
Anti Aliasing (wtf is this ??)

Any help greatly apprciated, btw the NRG Bf2 demo server rocks!

-Al- · 21-06-2005 05:14PM

hey drapper, to be honest i would have thought high setting would be ok for your specs.

AA is Anti Aliasing, it basically smooths off the edges of the models to give them less of a jagged look, but can take a good chunk of graphics power to do so, so id say leave it off.

try everything on medium and see how it goes, test it on an irish server with a good few people, see how it handles. If its good start bringin it up, ive also switched off dynamic shadows, becasuse they look silly (big boxes for me) and ive gotten some FPS boost too.

i know its kinda the usual answer, but its kinda trial and error to getting it set up to playing well.

Jim · 21-06-2005 05:48PM

Aye Dapper, you should be able to run everything med-high. If your having problems the only thing I could suggest would be to adjust the o.c.

Hows BF2 running for everyone?
