    Is this Normal??

    Hey guys,

    I have an AMD Athlon 64 +3000, 6600 GT with 128mb and one gig of ram, most of the time I get only around 30 fps set on

    1024x768
    Terrain: Medium
    Effects: Medium
    Geometry: Medium
    Texture: Medium
    Lighting: Medium
    Dynamic Shadows: off
    Dynamic Lights: off
    Anti-Aliasing: 2X
    Texture Filtering: Medium

    is it normal for my system to run this slow?

    oh yeah and I have XP x64 installed, would it affect the game if you are using xp x64?

    Thanks a lot

          That does seem a bit low.

          You may need to perform some general system maintanance and optimizations.

          Disable any and all unnecessary background applications, processes, and services for a start.

          Do a full virus/spyware scan.

          Defragment.

          Upgrade your video, sound, and motherboard drivers.

              change it to this:
              1024x768 (put this refresh rate to the same rate you have your screen at)
              Terrain: Medium
              Effects: Medium-lower this maybe
              Geometry: Medium
              Texture: Medium
              Lighting: low
              Dynamic Shadows: off
              Dynamic Lights: off
              Anti-Aliasing: off
              Texture Filtering: off or lowest possible

              Turn off explorer when you play, and any other prgrams that you dont need.

              This should help a lot

              also do the pb_sleep500 and pb_writecfg into the console (search for the post on this forum about that, if you dont know aht i mean), or if you trust me, just type those two things into the game by pressing `.

                  Why does everything revolve around EA creating a game that wont like or run on more or less and major Components, :S

                      Is that 30 average, or a high of 30 fps? If it is a high of, then there is definitely something wrong. I have the following,

                      NF7 w/ XP-M2500+ @ 2.2 ghz
                      1.5 gb PC3200
                      6600GT

                      I just went on to a Dalian Plant server running FRAPS and got this,

                      Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
                      7439, 129983, 34, 101, 57.231

                      Was a mostly empty server so that I didn't end up with the spwan selection screen while the benchmark was running. Did go to the commander screen twice to drop arty (stood just on the outside of it as it landed). I have also run the FRAPS benchmark while on a full 64 slot server and got similar numbers (the average might be a frame oor two lower). This are the settings I use,

                      1280x1024@60
                      Terrain: Medium
                      Effects: Medium
                      Geometry: Medium
                      Texture: Medium
                      Lighting: Medium
                      Dynamic Shadows: Low
                      Dynamic Lights: Medium
                      Anti-Aliasing: 2X
                      Texture Filtering: Medium

                      First question is which video drivers are you using 9I'm running the 84.20)? Second, are your motherboard drivers up-to-date/installed, and is the card agp or pci-e?

                          I get an average of 30 fps and a high of about 60, I do have all my x64 drivers updated, but I think when battlefield installed it installed its own x32 nvidia driver,would that be a problem? The 6600 gt is a PCI-E
