Re: low fps

Use the official nVidia drivers, see if that helps. Is Vsync on?

Re: low fps

I tried with official-dindt work

Vsync is off

Re: low fps

turn off the dynamic lights & shadows

usually gives a performance boost

Re: low fps

I just bought a nvidia 7800 GS Overclocked. The rest of my system specs are Athlon XP 3000, 2 Gig Ram.

I use to have a nvidia geforce fx 5600. I got 30 to 40 fps with it. Now installed my new card and got the same. I had the resolution on 800 x 600 with almost all low. I thought this would raise my fps. It didn't. I still got around 30 to 40.

I decided to try 1280 x 1024 resolution with a few things med to high. Now my fps are around 60. The reasoning? I concluded that with everything low my card was not doing any of the work, my processor was. Now the card does the work and it's great.

Hope this helps a little.

Re: low fps

I think you should update driver not beta driver regular driver that should help. My friend got 6200 1gig run all meds. :)

Re: low fps

its his 1 gig ram thats the trouble, plus that is not the best card in the world for BF2...

Re: low fps

I used the same card for BF2 with less than a gig and it ran with no problems at all with decent fps, with a 2.4 p4. 1gig is fine untill you want high textures.

Re: low fps

On my previous system i was able to run BF2 on mostly medium apart from effects & geometry at high on 1280x1024 at an average of 42fps.

The specs were

Barton 2600+
1.5GB Ram PC3200
128MB Inno3d 6600GT
XP Home
SB Audigy 4 SE

You need to get the nvidia forceware 84.21 drivers. Also do you have onboard sound? if so that needs to be on software on medium. If u have 3rd party card u select hardware & high.

Also check out this system tweak guide.

Re: low fps

1gb of RAM can be enough...it depends what background stuff you running that hogs the RAM......2gb is the go for no probs
