    just wondering...

    i was just wondering if project reality puts more strain on your computer than vBF2?

    my specs are:

    intel p4 @ 3.2ghz

    nvidia 6800gt

    1.5gig of DDR400 ram

    any help would be appreciated

    Yes it does, but even with that system you should be fine.

      Your specs are very similar to mine, mine are :-

      Intel p4 3.2ghz

      6800 GS GLH 512MB

      2 Gigs of ram

      And i play with most of my settings on high and a 1024 * 728 resolution, I can crank it up higher though i just like the settings i use.

          I'm guessing with everything on high and no anti aliasing and a 1024 * 768 resolution you should be able to play everything on high with an average FPS of 60 to 70 depending on the map and whats happening around you.

          I think if you want as well you could even crank up the resolution up to 1280 * 780 with *2 anti aliasing. It all depends on what you've actually got installed on your machine and running in the background eating up your system resources while you play.

          Just try fiddling with your settings and check your FPS in game by doing this :-

          Open up the console (press the Key above tab to open it (a little white thing with writing on will drop down) press the same key above tab to close the console).

          Then type renderer.drawFPS 1 to see your FPS

          Then just close the console.

          To be honest with you whatever settings you use in vBF2 you should be able to use in Project reality or you might have to drop a tiny bit but that's it your machine should run PR perfectly fine as mines does ;-).

            AMD Athlon 3700 San Diego
            BFG 6800GT
            1G OCZ Ram

            I run the game with everything on high, but no AA or anything like that. Works fine for me.

                the main issue for Project Reality is ram/memory. the maps are friggin huge so with my rig (in my sig) i get a ton of stuttering in most maps esp al basrah and i play on med/high settings (med textures) with 2x AA at 1280x1024

                    Dont use fraps to find out your FPS it actually causes an FPS drop of around 20 to 30 FPS, well it used to on my rig anyway.

                        My son runs it on a AMD 64 bit 3000, 1GB of ram and a 7600GT 256Mb all at 1280x1024 and it runs okay....ish minus AA and such like. Some of the maps lag like hell but some are fine. I intend buying him an extra gig of ram to try and sort out the lag issue next.

                        Cheers

                            If you can afford it, get a hardware pci soundcard

                            I shoved my old Creative Soundblaster Audigy oem card back in yesterday and sounds got better overall, but the main bonus was not having to use cpu power for audio so more fps for gaming! I have settings of Hardware/High/EAX on
