What kind of mobility card do you have? 9x00 series, X600, or X800 series? Its probably supported.

BF2 needs support for 1.4 shader.
for ATI it is 9500 and up.
for nVidia FX and up.

Sweet! :thumbs:

How much did it cost?
 
Ok guys I dont want to make a new thread but no one seems to be answering most questions being asked. I have a question for gorgon.

My friend has Dual 6800Gt's a 3.2 ghz P4 and 1gig of ram. Its an alienware aurora I think. He has everything maxed out in CS yet his fps is only around 50 and it also does not look as good as mine is maxed (I have p4 3.2, 1 gig ram, but just 1 9800XT). It also seems like he has AA off even though its maxed out. Very wierd how can I help him?

Until gorgon posts, I'll try to see if I can help you. :thumbs:

Ok, your friend has the latest drivers from Nvidia right? If so go into the options and make sure the settings are as desired. If that doesn't work try to see if there's an option to force the AA or AF. If that doesn't work, check the in-game video settings.

I only have experience with the ATi/Omega control panel and settings but I'm guessing that Nvidia has a similar setup.

Oh, and one other thing. What kind of monitor does he have? LCD or CRT? If its an LCD, it might need to be set to its native resolution. For example, the native resolution on my 17" NEC LCD is 1280x1024. If it set it to anything lower than that, it looks blurry and kinda jagged.

Hope that helps. :)

I dont know what your talking about in the first part. Im not very good with the subject at hand. He has an amazing monitor, I dont know what kind it is. I mean its flat but is nothing like an LCD where you cant touch it or see it at angles. His monitor must have cost him a fortune. To turn it on he just has to barely touch this metal tab on it, its not a button. Its so cool.

Even though you don't understand what I'm talking about, relay it to him and see if he knows. He should if he has a badass rig like that. :p

LCD monitors have really come a long way. Some have plastic covers over the screen part. For example, my NEC LCD1765 has plastic over the front to keep anything from damaging the screen. Most new LCDs also allow you to view it from different angles and still see a clear picture. Does the monitor look similar to this? Or more like this?
 
More like the first one. I know 10 times more about comps then he does so I know he doesnt know.

By the way guys very important!!!!

In the gamespot preview we finally see how performance was on a 2nd gen graphics card.

They played on a 3.0ghz machine with a 9800Pro (i think thats a 128 mb card not sure please correct me) with more than a gig of ram and had full settings on. Lemme quote them

We were also very nervous about the game's performance, but it ran well at high detail on a 3GHz machine with an older Radeon 9800 Pro video card.

Very good ****ing news for me!
 
I plan to run with High Quality, 4XAA, 8XAF, 1024x768, and Vsync on.

BFG 6800 Ultra OC
AMD 64-bit 3400
1024MB Corsair XMS Pc3200

Should get a above average FPS even with the above settings on.

It also seems like they have AA on in the screens. This is good news for the many that dont have the x800 or 6800 cards. PLEASE NO MORE SUPER COMPUTER SHOWING OFF LIKE THE POST BEFORE THIS. WE KNOW IT WILL RUN ON UR COMP! UNLESS YOU HAVE A COMP AS GOOD AS GORGONS DONT POST YOUR AWESOME COMPUTER!
 
Wondering if i may need to upgrade my RAM for this game, se it sounds like it needs quite a bit. I have 2x512mb Kingmax DDR400, and only have one question that i want answered: My mobo is socket754 and only has 3 dimm slots. Is buying and extra stick of Kingmax 512 RAM to bring it up to 1.5gb going to make much difference? I know 2 gigs would be much better, but 1gb sticks are slow, aren't they? so im kinda limited to 1.5gb. (it would cost me about $90NZD (around 60USD, but don't forget parts are more expensive in NZ)

The recommended specs are 1 gig of ram. More is better, but only to speed up load times prolly. So I wouldn't invest in two sticks of 1 gig ram, but just in another stick of 512MB. I'm sticking to 1 gig myself for the moment. That should suffice ....
 
yeah, i might go for the extra 512 stick, but im in no rush- im sure ill manage for a while :) Cheers Shakermaker
 
they're both pretty nice- guess if money's not an object the sennhiesers would be a good choice. They'll have NICE sound quality, that's for sure.
 
so, clarify for me, what are the vertex and pixel shader req's for BF2?
 
MilkMan12 said:
How do you guys think it will run on a

P4 3.2GHZ
1gig of ram
9800XT 256MB

I plan on putting draw distance on 100% AA and AF on but not max, and most things on high and medium...what do you guys think? How can I make it perform better without spending 400 bucks on a new card?

BTW rename this to the "official will BF2 run on my comp thread"

Horribly

I think your joking but if your not I have already been answered by gamespot. They played the final version with a 3ghz P4 over 1 gig of ram and a 9800Pro 128mb and they played perfectly fine on high settings. So people like me who are stuck in the 2nd generation have nothing to worry about...hopefully.
 
I got the PC150's. Bought them through work (CompUSA) through their business sales department. Sound great, better than the platronics set I had before. I have yet to test the mice though.
 
argghhhh!!! why cant I find the pc150's anywhere in canada!!! stupid Target said they had it in store but when I made the trip to the US ...IT WASNT THERE!!!

I asked a sales rep and the guy said "sennheiser pc150, what's that?" ...he nearly got an eye gouge from yours truely for that little comment

I got my pair a few days ago, and they are indeed fantastic. The mic quality is excellent, too.

will mine run ok..see sig

Yes, it will ..... as long as you set everything to low. Medium or high settings won't really be possible, I'm afraid.
 
Just in time for BF2 - This just in:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836504001

This headset kicks ass!

Just came in the mail like 20 minutes ago and I hooked it up and tested it out. Had to boost the mic so it could actually be used in CS:S but oh man is it cool.

The vibration on the headphones is really sweet. There's an in-line dial for volume of the set and intensity of vibration as well. Sounds below a certain frequency are converted into vibration so bass lines come through nicely in music. Gunfire feels that much more real rattling my head and silenced weapons even give a muffled vibration that actually feels like it's silenced. The cups fit around my ears comfortably as well. Sound is certainly better than the speakers I have although I'm no audiophile so I can't tell you how good it is. It's a lot better for me :)

:thumbs: Great headset :thumbs:
 
That looks pretty ****ing sweet dude. I used to use headsets but then when I bought my comp surround sound came free with it so I like the surround sound better.

But I hear headsets now have like mini surround sound...is that true?

I can definitely hear directional sound a lot better with this headset but I doubt it's actual 5.1. I know there are some out there that do have actual 5.1 though.
