Re: best preformance

Processor will be your bottleneck. And tbh you could use alittle more ram. One tip, try the 77.62b Xtreme drivers from www.tweaksrus.com , they will give you some xtra fps 10-15%

Re: best preformance

Re: best preformance

yeah, your processor and ram are main bottlenecks.

i actually find that turning shadows and light to low from medium makes no visible diff, but turning off anti aliasing does.

i find 2x anti aliasing to be enough it and it doesnt cause any probs for a 6600 GT to throw in 2x anti aliasing.

im also curious about this supposed 77.62 driver, could we get more info on people who have tried it and said it works?

i use the 78.01 drivers because the newer ones seem to be hurting BF2 performance..

Re: best preformance

occasonaly i get a blue screen which says "nivida dumping phisical memory" then my computer restarts and when windows boots up it wants to send an error report about the grafix card. I cant figure out whats wrong i have all the settings to low untill i can get that driver. also sometimes these big black lines appear comming off my gun and big multi colored walls that i can walk through but not see through. some kind of texture glitch im guessing but i also get it sometimes when i play DOD and i never used to get that with my old grafix card (ati 7500 64m) so eiter the nivida driver that comes with it is really crapy or the card its self is crapy.

i had the same prob & it actually turned out to be a prob with my ram timings.... the random reboot is a tough one tho, it can be a host of things, if you know anything about your bios settings, you can tweak your ram timings & see if it makes any diff... other things to try turning off anything thats "cacheable" and any shadowing options... also ppl have had some luck increasing the agp aperture size

Re: best preformance

yeah and switch drivers that fixed my strange glitchstuff.

i dont think your card sucks, unless its from some horrible manufacturer. its the best part of your rig by far.

Re: best preformance

yeah its not my card it sounds like its my ram timings or what ever. but can someone plese give me the direct link to the extrem driver it sounds like it would help alot. also if someone wouldent mind telling me what ram timeings are and how i can change it that would be wonderfull too.
