BF2 & Win x64

[sid77]

Yesterday I partitioned my drive and installed the 180 day trial copy of WindowsXP x64 Edition.

I was intrigued to find out if there was a significant performance increase when playing 3d games like BF2 using the new 64 bit O/S.

So the question is, was there? Well yes I think ! It's hard to say really, one thing for sure is there was a noticeable improvement with the stuttering, or lack of.

So im interested to know if any of you guys have installed x64 and have you seen any performance increase?

PS: I had to scour the internet for 64bit drivers for my X800 Pro.

They have x64 drivers on the ATI website....

The official website is allways a good place to check for the drivers first

I use XP64, but havent tried the game on anything else :P

But it runs fine for me..... moving from 1gb RAM to 1.5 really helped ALOT in the loading times and the initial stuttering on the first spawn

Re: BF2 & Win x64

Ive got win x64 and the 32 bit version and i play it on both OS's often but dont notice any difference between the two. There shouldnt be any difference between the two cos BF2 only uses the processor as a 32 bit one rather than a 64 bit one as its a 32bit program. Maybe you were just playing on a less laggy server while using the x64 OS?
