sli rendering mode

Re: sli rendering mode

Well, i have a similar setup:

AMD X2 4400+
2GB RAM
2x 7800GTX (256mb) in Sli.

I too am wondering which settings work. Currently, I can play decently at 1600x1200 with all High settings, 4xAA and app controlled AF. Supersampling is also enabled. I am wondering, should I turn off supersampling, because I do get some fram rate dips.

If you had not heard me say any of that, what would be the ABSOLUTE best I could play on while maintaining a high FPS?

Super sampling is a big hog. Great visuals, but its eats FPS. Turn it off if you want to raise FPS. You could also try 8xS AA in the nvidia control panel, and then turn off manual super sampling.

Re: sli rendering mode

Or go for multisampling, it's almost as good but the performance hit isn't as large.

i just ordered a samsung 204b LCD that does 1600x1200. Now the only problem is getting rid of my Benq 19inch LCD. Hope i can sell it

Re: sli rendering mode

Nice...Pretty sweet monitor. Lets just hope you can get your settings sorted. NHancer really seems to help me quite a bit...

Re: sli rendering mode

The performance issue is because the BF2 engine is a POS.

Need proof, max everything out on graphics and look at your FPS.
Now lower all settings to the lowest possible, yes even resolution, and now look at you FPS(ofcourse same place and loction as first time).

It will most likely be the same.

Point BF2 engine is crap.

so, true. the net code isn't that good either. I was getting massive amounts of lag on a server that I was pinging 12!

Re: sli rendering mode

high for me is 50 60 fps in the battle and low is the same, anyother game its like night and day.

Re: sli rendering mode

i play at 1600x1200. SLI is SUPPOSE to give benefit at high res like this but not for me. I still saw dips to freakin 29fps in a firefight on a 64 player Karkand map.

Oh god i hate how this game runs. My series of upgrades has done nothing to improve bf2 performance. I just did not want to see a framerate of 40 or 29 again but it happens. I guess it is impossible to make bf2 run well. I do get good fps but i hate seeing these pathetic dips to 29fps. That is unacceptable

Re: sli rendering mode

any system is going to get a big dip like that. It's the way BF2 is coded, not your system.
