What graphics settings would you recommend?

Re: What graphics settings would you recommend?

I have a similar setup:
AMD 64 3200+ @2.4GHZ
6800GT @ 401/1.1
2GB RAM
80GB IDE HD.

Nvidia 81.98 drivers.
I play at 1280x1024@72hz and get frames at 50-100fps with settings high except dynamic shadows=medium and dynamic light=medium. 2xAA and 100% view distance.

Make sure in your motherboard BIOS, you set the AGP aperture to 256mb.
Download and install DH Driver Cleaner Pro.
Uninstall your Nvidia drivers via the Windows control panel Add/Remove programs applet. Reboot in Safe Mode, run Driver Cleaner, reboot into normal Windows and install the latest Nvidia drivers.
Download Coobits and install it. Coolbits adds extra options to your display properties, including over clocking. Go into your display properties and set your card Core Clock Frequency to 400.
In your Performance settings, move the System Performance slider to "Performance", set anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering to "application controlled". Don't touch any of the other performance settings, including VSync, leave it off, it's a major performance killer.

Regarding general windows security. If you wish to keep using free software, carry on with Zone Alarm, but uninstall NortonAV and use AVG Anti Virus 7.1, it catches much more, updates more frequently and uses for less system resources than Norton AV.

Ok, I will use the AVG instead of the Norton... it kills my BF2 when I try to join any server.
Many thanks :)

Uninstall DT4.0 and re-install DT4.03 and MAKE SURE you de-select Daemon Search Bar or whatever it is called during installation....that is the spyware part and you have the option of not installing it.

MY version is 4,03 as I looked it up and I have not installed any toolbar... I think I should keep it than :)

HELL it wasnt the NortonAV that killed my BF2...
I can make a server and play on it but when I try to connect one bf2 just crashed to desktop... the only problem I can think of that I have installed it from another windows so when it trys to connect uses some .dll file wich cannot be found in my "clean XP".

Yes, it did the trick :)

Are you SURE you didn't install the spyware with Daemon Tools? The check box is checked ON by default. Just uninstall and re-install DTools and you'll see it.
