BF2 Crashing

Re: BF2 Crashing

I bought a NVIDIA 7600gs today, but not a gig of memory, i'm going to wait on that. My highest graphics setting I can have is high and even that lags a little. Also, there is some weird bug, I can play basic BF2 maps ok, but I cant play SF, AF, or EF maps.

Hey, have a look at Newegg, Zipzoomfly, and pricegrabber.com
These 3 places offer a lot of deals and reviews on products. I think you can probably end up spending
$100 for a 480W power supply and you can get a 1GB stick of a good ram for about the same.
If you want, give me the model and verison of your motherboard and I try to find you some deals.

Re: BF2 Crashing

Your graphics card is lame and overtaxed running BF2, upgrade it to a card with a 6 or higher number as the second digit (i.e. X1600, 7600, etc). If the second digit of a card is lower than a 6, its a budget card thats not very good for gaming.

The graphics card is fine for BF2 im running the slighly lower version of the guys same card the 6200 LE 256MB and I run with all settings on medium to high on singleplayer and medium/low on multiplayer with not one drop in perfect framerate except once in a blue moon flying a fighter.

Re: BF2 Crashing

I went to the store today and bought the card and memory but to my dismay i bought the wrong type of memory (stupid) and my computer doesn't have a sufficient power supply. Only 300 watts of output while the 7600 require 400 watts. I dont really want to spend 450 dollars just to play games although it sucks cause I've given EA 100bucks for a game I can't even play anymore..

Re: BF2 Crashing

I've been looking around and I can't find a 200 dollar 7800 but I have found a 7600 for 200 dollars. How much of a boost could I get off that?

Asus pays more to select higher quality GPU's, they make the best (argueably) cards.

Re: BF2 Crashing

Well, with a 7600 and another gig of ram you would be playing at highest settings smoothly.

Re: BF2 Crashing

Depending on the amount of cash you have you can buy a 7800GTX for about $200 (NEW/RETAIL). That will definitely give you a lot more of a boost.

Re: BF2 Crashing

I'll try with different detail settings and if it doesn't help i'll get a new graphics card. Thanks

Re: BF2 Crashing

thats 1.3 patch for you...and sum graphic problems, comp may not be able to run the detail settings you have on....it used to that with my old computer i put a couple settings on medium , btw i had the same video card on old computer, and it just pooped out to the desktop

Re: BF2 Crashing

Conflicting help here, I'm still confused about which argument to believe.

Re: BF2 Crashing

I was just thinking that maybe the card is overheating or something.

Re: BF2 Crashing

getting a new vid card wont help the game from crashing

Re: BF2 Crashing

Is there any other hardware I'd need when getting a new card?
