Basically as times gone by with BF2 the performance of my PC has gone down hill . Personally i was blaming crappy patching on EA/Dices part as with every patch the performance seemed to go down (really the only time i checked my FPS). Last week i was playing with a 1024*720 resolution everything on medium no anti aliasing and on a 64 man server i was getting a FPS of
15/60 (i dunno what the numbers mean but the lower the first number the more graphically laggy it was in game)
Well about two days ago my PC crashed while playing BF2 there was a loud clunk then my PC wouldn't turn on . I actually though that the quick release fuse in my power supply had blow so i unplugged everything and pulled my PC of its shelf. To my total surprise the back vent on the power supply unit was burning hot to touch and the side vents were totally blocked with dust feathers and dog hair (i keep parrots and have a great Dane dog). So i took my PC down stairs and took of the side panel and cleaned the side panel and the huge big arse fan in my PC (fecking hell i didn't know you could get fans that big its 6inches in diameter with a huge plastic pipe going up to the the side panel vents.) i also cleaned what ever else i could get at without disturbing anything.
Now I'm playing BF2 with a 1024*720 resolution (i prefer that resolution) medium settings and anti aliasing on *6 with max draw distance. Ive tested this time and time again and now on a 64 man server I'm getting frame rates of
65/12 to 90/10
And with the anti aliasing on *6 and the massive increase in FPS the game looks absolutely brilliant and is so much easier to play.
SO MY ADVICE IS TO CLEAN YOUR PC REGULARY TO GET THE MAX PERFORMANCE OUT OF IT
NOTE:- DO NOT GO POKING AROUND INSIDE YOUR PC IF YOU ARE NOT EARTHED AS YOU WILL DAMAGE THE CHIPS INSIDE.
Before cleaning check your in game FPS by entering this command
renderer.drawFPS 1 (you open the console commands section by pressing the key directly above the tab key (you know you've done it as a transparent white screen with writing on it will pop down in the top left corner of your screen.).) then check your FPS again after you've cleaned your PC.
