BF2 Warning for Spec When Buying

Drapper · 24-06-2005 12:37PM #1

Guys Smyths have a list of GFX cards and harware required to play BF2 stating "BF" is a high spec game ? just a query, anyone got a copy of it to put in this thread, I read it this morn and it included some of the cards people on this board having issues with!

Do all the other shops have the warning posted?

Doesnt work with GeForce 4MX anyway. I think it works with anything higher than that. (Not too sure about ATI cards)

lol i hope so, glad I got myself 1mb of the stuff

I bought 3 copies.
They told me to look at the specs and make sure it would run.
PC games are none returnable for the ol' CD key reason.

Just upgraded me pc to 1mb ram this morning. What a difference it makes on Battlefield 2. Pretty much high everything and a nice smooth frame rate.

Doesn't work with the gefore4 ti cards.

vibe666 · 24-06-2005 03:51PM

would you not just get the demo and test it with that?

that's cos they think you took it home and copied it.

ghost26ie · 24-06-2005 04:41PM

Anything Below Geforce 5 Hasn't A Hope. Even The Demo Didn't Like Geforce 4 Ti's Or Mx's.

I didnt even know the demo ran on the mx version of the Gf4. Musta been painful for those that used it!

Aye. The demo ran crap on my GeForce4 Ti4200 card. Had to use BF2ShaderMod, but it ain't worth it. Gonna save up for a decent card.

The guy didn't say anything to me when I bought.
He obviously knew from my apperance that my rig is uber leet.

Have a GF4 Ti 4800 SE, so it looks like it's time for a new card for me too.

Feck I should have look at this before the game was out.

Well if it worked on the demo you should be fine for the real game. But your going to be missing out on allot with detail down on low.

ah but its worth it anyway for the gameplay, the graphics on low are perfectly adequate for playing even if theyre not cutting edge.
im in the same boat with an PM1.7ghz, 128mb x300, and 512mb of ram; it runs really smooth on low settings but if i turned it up to med it would have a fit.

kirving · 27-06-2005 11:46PM

I have now decided to purchase PowerColor Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB , should run a lot better now, i mit get some more ram(512mb) too when i can afford it.

Woudnt buy one of those new, wont get your monies worth.

Try 2nd hand in For Sale forum always decent bargain there if your budget low.

Depends on his budget I guess but you can't say that the 9800Pro isn't a good card...
