BattleField 2142

[trumbo091]

I got a 7950GT OC bfg I was wondering what I should be able to run it at my system is:

Windows Vista
Pentium 4 HT 3.0Ghz
1Gb Ram
256mb 7950GT OC BFG
19' HP LCD

with wiondows XP you should get max grafics but with vista i wouldnt know i havent got a copy and only used the betas and thay sucked

Use that.

 

[TSIMonster]

You will need more RAM for it to run smoothly.

 

[trumbo091]

My stepdad has a 8800 GTS 320mb and Intel D processor 2GB of ram with XP and he can run it max but gets very low frame rates 10-25

 

[T8RR8R]

As you can see from my signature it's what I have and I play BF2142 pretty much all day long, and I've never had low frame rates.

 

[spanner_razor]

Yep ram is really important in battefield. 2 gig will make it run nice and smooth, Chip speed is largely irrelevant with bf 2142, you can only really get away with a gig of ram if you have a 512mb video card so you'll be needing more ram for fluid gameplay otherwise it may lag on titan assault. Mine can run it pretty well at 1024x768 on high, annoying tho it isn't optomised properly for dual cores as I turned the affinity onto just one and it ran exactly the same.

 

[trumbo091]

What could be causing the delay then cause he has

Stepdad Has
Intel D processor dual core 2.8ghz
2gb of ram
8800gts 320
500w power supply
windows xp media center

He can barely run it at high

I have
Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.0ghz
1gb of ram
256mb 7950GT OC BFG
Windows Vista
400w Power Supply

I can barely even play it at Medium Graphics

 

[T8RR8R]

Are you sure it's low FPS because of your system or is it just a poor server connection?

 

[spanner_razor]

I've never run it on either vista or media center so it could just be wank on those OS. See what it's like in xp if you can.

 

[trumbo091]

Well im not an expert, but if ping is what your talking about we run usually at 30-70 ping

 

[T8RR8R]

notta clue, but either way your P4 should be fine, could do with another GB of Ram but you should do okay. Try that SRL link from aduckie I use it all the time and just try to stay at or above the recommended stuff.

 

[trumbo091]

Alright thanks everyone my results were pretty low I'll go probably run it on my dads computer and see how he stacks up.

When playing BF-2142 this also may be helpful in gettin the most from your card:http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_bf2142_techtips.html

 

[trumbo091]

yea that tech tip is a little off i can barely run it medium and if you look above my stepdad has a 8800 gts 320 and can run it at high. but its unplayable you'll just get owned

where can i get a good program to measure fps??

 

[spanner_razor]

Fraps can both show fps in games and bechmark them for you, it also records movies of games.

 

[bobby6k34]

[trumbo091]

are your image quality settings the same??

 

[TSIMonster]

Shoot the first system in my sig gets 40-50fps average at 1280x1024 (the x850) but won't run smoothly unless I add an extra gig
