Tips for clean, stutter free gameplay
Hi, I spent a little time trying to find the best settings to play BF2 on for my system. Of course this 'guide' is specific to me but will help others. For starters, important Sys specs:
* AMD 3200
* 1 GB of PC2700 DDR
* 128 MB GForce 6600 GT graphics card
First things first:
Read this: http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_5.html
It details all of the video settings and what's the best ones for you.
Then, for Nvidia cards, download and install RivaTuner20RC157 from http://www.Guru3D.com. It's a software overclocker. The GT class of video cards are highly flexible when it comes to tweaking.
Then download and install: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=462
This will unlock additional setting within the Nvidia drivers control panel. (Read up on the website).
When you've installed it go to the control panel for the card and navigate to 'Additional Direct 3D settings'and set the 'Max frames to render ahead' to <o> (Zero) Default is 3
Basicaly this tells the graphics card not too look ahead 3 frames at a time but concentrate on what you're looking at. If you have the recommended spec graphics card and RAM then this will not be a problem.
Also set the Refresh rate to the highest your monitor will support. The default is always 800 x 600 @ 60 hertz but this is crap, set it higher, for instance 1024 x 768 @ 75 hertz
I now run the game with:
Overall Quality: Custom
Terrain: High
Effects: High
Geometry: High
Texture: High
Lighting: Low
Dynamic Shadows: Medium
Dynamic Light: Low
Antialiasing: 2X
Texture Filtering: Low
View Distance Scale: 100%
No Lag, no stutter, great vision, Great fun.
Of course this is not the definitive and there's lots more out there, also, this is for MY pc but it may still help yours

) As I understand it you free up the graphics card to concentrate on rendering (drawing the screen) of what you can see and let the RAM concentrate on what's coming next. Incredibly simplified way of putting it but wtf! It's all about synergy. The sum of the whole is greater than the individual parts.
