Re: Low Settings picture please?

but with 1GB ram and crappy 128 nvidia card you can set some on medium and the game will be much better.

So what is you System Specification?

OK high setting Wait 5 min :)

Re: Low Settings picture please?

Don't listen to these guys with uber dual SLI rigs that run everything on high and make comment's like "It's not worth playing" or "It looks like crap" You can clearly see that it looks pretty dang good even with all settings on low! I also know some freinds that have high end systems that run BF2 at lower setting to get an advantage in gameplay with smoother frames and less lighting effects. I run an eVga 6800 NU 128M 16/6 unlocked pipes/shaders with all my setting on Medium, distance set at 100% and it looks superlicious. My frames are in the 60-70's, with an occasional drop into the high 30-40's in heavy action.

Terrain: This setting controls how rich the details on the terrain are. The available options here are Low, Medium and High - see the screenshot comparison below for differences. Note that at each higher level of terrain setting, there are more visible features in the terrain, such as more grass, different types of foliage, more sand, pebbles and so forth. However this comes at the cost of a noticeable decrease in your performance, especially at the High level. The image quality difference between Low and Medium is pronounced, while that of Medium to High is not so noticeable - therefore Medium is recommended.

Texture: Textures are the 2 dimensional surfaces of every 3D object in the game. The higher this setting, the better these surfaces appear, with more detail and realism. However at higher settings more Video RAM is required to hold all of them for rapid access by the game. Thus on systems with only 128MB of Video RAM or less and/or slow hard drives I recommend using Medium or even Low to ensure smoother gameplay. The High setting will improve image quality slightly over the Medium setting, but will contribute greatly to frequent loading pauses and generally reduce performance in the game. The image quality difference is shown in the screenshot comparison below - as can be seen, the textures in BF2 are not fantastic even at the highest setting. The difference between Low and Medium is most noticeable in the blurring of the landscape and the player's clothing at Low. At Medium this sharpens up noticeably, and at High there is only a slight improvement over Medium. For that reason Medium is recommended, to be lowered to Low if you still suffer from frequent loading pauses.

Lighting: This setting controls the lightmaps used for static objects in the game, such as building. The screenshot comparison below shows the difference - pay particular attention to the shadow of the building. The difference between High and Medium is negligible, while Medium to Low results in the complete removal of the fixed shadows for the building. This is far less realistic, and for that reason I recommend Medium Lighting. High is not necessary and will contribute noticeably to loading pauses.

Texture Filtering: This setting controls how crisp and clear textures look as they fade into the distance. The available options are Low, Medium and High, and the higher the setting the better the image quality in return for a decline in performance. The screenshot comparison below shows the impact of different levels of filtering - note in particular the different levels of the blurring on the dirt road leading off into the distance. The texture filtering settings at Medium and High should correspond with 2x Anisotropic Filtering (AF) and 4xAF respectively, with Low being Trilinear. For more details, again refer to my Simple Antialiasing and Anisotropic Guide. For most people the Medium setting should be optimal for performance purposes while still maintaining good image quality.

View Distance Scale: This slider determines the amount of visible detail your character can see in the distance. The screenshot comparison below shows the differences at 50% (the minimum), 75% and 100% (the maximum) View Distance settings. Note the crane in the distance becomes invisible at 75% view distance. While reducing the view distance improves performance due to less scenery being rendered, it is strongly recommended that you do not reduce your view distance below 100%. A reduced view distance can place you at a disadvantage in the game against other players who use 100% view distance, making it harder for you to spot distant players and vehicles. Keep this setting at its maximum and reduce other settings first to improve your performance if you can.

If your machine can handle it and you've got all your settings on high, it's much more like you're taking part in a movie.

Re: Low Settings picture please?

Keep in mind the difference between an 'OK' vid card and a top shelf vid card is not only the Low/Med/High setting, it's also the ability to turn on anti-aliasing which smooths out the jaggy edges/lines and also brings any lesser vid card to it's knees.
