My PC - Good Enough ?

[CHL]

Hi I just wanted to know if the new pc I am gettin from a friend will be good enough to run BF 2 on good settings with a good fps rate ?

The pc spec is

P4 3.8ghz
1 gig of ram
ATI X800 Pro 256mb
200 Gig HD

Thanks for input :)

Yep, you should be fine, but you will have to put textures on medium.

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

if u will be using 1024x768 then u can set everything to high but still i recommand getting a 2gb of ram since it will help u to play @ 1280x1024 @ high/medium

even at 1024x768 he will need to put textures to medium, and at 1280x1024, itll run fine, but again, texture will have to be set to medium, due to only 1 gig of ram.

i didnt know that system ram helped you in textures..

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

casue textuers increase the map size which may need more than 1gb of ram which means a lot of loading time while moving in the map

Hi guys, thats great :)

I do plan on using 1024x768 res with most settings on medium apart from perhaps the view distance which I intend to set to far.

Any idea roughly for guys in the know or with similiar setups what kind of FPS I should expect with such settings ?

Thanks

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

good enough to play the game with no problems

be sure to tell us the answer to ur question when u get ur copy :)

also why spending all fo this money on a P4 3.8 and only getting 1GB of ram

u should have bought a P$ 3.2 or something , then O/C it to 3.8~4Ghz and buy urself with teh saved money the best 2GB kit u can find

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

Hey - I actually didnt spend alot of money at all really, I bought the computer off a ebay store whos shop is only 20mins drive from me.

It only cost me £400 and its not 2nd hand just was a display pc with afew scratchs :)

But yes, I think I may look in to adding another gig of ram depending on the performance I get ! I will tell you tuesday when it arrives ! :)

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

Safrout, the motherboard is the top one on that link.

I cant run that test as I dont have the PC until tuesday.

Do you think its worth getting another 1 gig of the memory at the same speed or scrapping the 1 gig and upgrading to a better memory?

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

RAM is essential for the Game to run smoothly. After spunking £400 on new hardware the other day I installed my second 7800 GTX and expected everything to run fine on high settings including anti aliasing set on 4. Not to be and when my new RAM arrived the next day the game runs unbelievably smooth and it takes next to no time connecting to servers.

I did have a matched pait of 512MB Geil's, now I'm running on Corsair 2GB XMX.

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?
