low fps with a nice system

Re: low fps with a nice system

The low fps problem is easily solved. Set everything to MEDIUM. With a rig like yours you will be getting 80+fps and I challenge you to tell the difference between high and medium settings. Having said that the next patch (1.2) is supposed to optimize static mesh rending (ie: buildings, earth....anything that doesnt move) this should see a large increase for many people in the FPS department.
But please take me seriously or at least try it. leave your resolution as is and even turn AA up to 4x but set everything else to medium...maybe leave geometry on high.

This may be true, but the fact of the matter is that he has a pretty good system and should be able to run all high at least in the 50 fps range.

Re: low fps with a nice system

65C is just fine, as mentioned eariler GPUs can handle alot more heat. IIRC thermal throttling for the 7800gt starts at like 120C. Before liquid cooling my 7800gt would peak at about 70C and I had no problems with it then.

i think you have read the temp thing wrong. you say a 7800gt doesnt start throttle until 120C? that is 248F. water boils at 212F . you would have mist in your system from the water in the air boiling and the stickers would melt off your video card. i looked at my 7800 gt and it started at 115F not C . 70C is still 158F and really hot. my card is saying it runs BF2 at less than 100F but i have alot of fans in mine.
