Will my comp run it?

[tylerf90]

Im just wondering before I go out and buy this game, will my new computer that I am about to get in the mail run this?

Specs:
Pentium® D Processor 930 with Dual Core Technology (3GHz, 800FSB)

1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2DIMMs

256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800

250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/ 8MB cache

thanks

you might want 1GB more ram to run it to its full potential but 1GB is good enough

Well i dont really have that much money to go upgrading my comp, Im only 16 and I dont want to work too many hours : /
So will I be able to enjoy it with the comp im getting or what one thing should I upgrade?

Re: Will my comp run it?

ive never had that set up, so i really cant tell you exactly... but i know that you will be able to run it

search around on the forums for a bit, and you will get your answer :)

Depending on what kind of 6800 it is ( gs, gt, xt, etc.) Youll probably be running it at 1280x1024, all high with textures set to medium, and little or no aa.

Isnt there just a plane old 6800? And by the way, what is AA? I probaly know just forgot

Re: Will my comp run it?

there are plain 6800's, but none with 256MB of mem (according to newegg) so you probably have GS, GT, or XT.

AA is basically taking a blocky or unsmooth pattern and making it more unblocky and smooth, so it looks better

Re: Will my comp run it?

Im guessing you have a gs, and those arent to bad. You wont need to upgrade any time soon. Heres no AA(anti-alaising) vs. full AA -- make sure you maximize the pic to see the edges
none

full

Re: Will my comp run it?

is one what 6800 with 256MB of mem?

[tylerf90]

Re: Will my comp run it?

Lol my bad, the only place that I see one with 256mb is on dell.com where I ordered the thing, damn thing doesnt say anything next to it just "256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800" and only 3 other cards to chose from none were the 6 series or in my price range. I guess I can try to ask Dell but the thing is due to be at my house in 2 days anyway.

Re: Will my comp run it?

dont worry any way, you will be able to run bf2 no matter what one it is

once you put the card in, you will be able to see what card it is exactly
