It's been two days since I installed this graphics card into my computer. Generally, the improvement was fantastic except for my favorite game, Battlefield 2. Before this graphics card, I had a Radeon 9800XT 256MB which ran Battlefield 2 smoothly with absolutely no performance issues, it was always stable at 15-25 fps on:
1280x1024
Max settings
2x AA
However, the Geforce 7800GS displays mixed results, at the same setting, I have higher FPS range (20 fps - 50 fps) than the 9800XT (15-40) yet almost every half a minute, the game stutters for a few seconds, bring the FPS count to 5 or under.
Here's my CPU and RAM spec:
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz overclocked to 3.0Ghz
2GB of DDR400 RAM overclocked to DDR430
Because Radeon 9800XT ran Battlefield 2 well, I ruled out the possiblity of my other hardwares being a possible bottleneck to the Geforce 7800GS. I searched the internet of how other 7800GS cards ran Battlefield 2; most shared the same problem and disappointment I have.
However, I realize that in many cases, these bad experiences may be miniscual in comparison with the good experiences, after all, we tend to express more when we are unsatisfied than not. Who knows, I might not be reading the good experiences of this card on Battlefield 2.
So, to the Geforce 7800GS AGP users, how well does Battlefield 2 run for you? To allievate this issue, I'm going to turn of anti-aliasing since that's one of the most intensive settings that demands large resources and power from graphic cards.
