Im getting really pissed off with the playability of BF2 on my PC, and am on the verge of blowing what little cash I have on a new card/RAM/maybe processor.

My framerate in Vanilla BF2 wobbles between 15-20 fps, and in BF2SF it drops to a horrendous 10-15, and it sorta shows in me stats. Im surprised I made the rank I have

64 player maps are pretty much unplayable unless I play Sniper and sorta skirt around the edges picking off wandering sheep, 32s are pretty well playable but if there's a mad old skirmish with 20 odd players in one place it turns to like playing in treacle

So sod all ya gits out there with hyperfast ownage machines, I wanna hear the worst systems out there that folk can JUST about play BF2 on:

My comps name is BASTARD which about sums it up.


1 gig of RAM, 2 different 512 chips
1.7 amd 2400+
Couldnt care less about the MoBo it cost £15
THE slowest H/D ever (by the time Im loaded 2 flags are capped and a dozen folk have been zapped)
Radeon 9600pro 256mb (clockwork!)

In fact I think I'll just take it outside and reprogram it with a large axe.

Anyone need a doorstop?

Before getting a new machine,

AMD 1.7 2400+
768Mb Ram
ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
Standard generic HDD

Played not to bad on low, but SF was poor. Still, according to EAsy Info, it shouldn't have run at all, so
not bad.

I played same config at my local internet shop. Albeit a slower CPU... Amazing diff once the new Mobos arrived, same hardware I got a jump from 15 fps at low to almost 25 fps at medium. Goes to show what a good mobo and a clean install can do for you.

Don't know Motherboard but it sucks too
comp is over 3 years old.

I was using this for the first 8 months I played BF2, it was pretty laggy all on low and SF was almost impossible to play.

but now i got a new comp which is a bit better:

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo 2000MHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit
XFX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB
Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 200GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Its quite a bit faster and i've never lagged

My old specs:

P4
2.8 Ghz
512 mb DDR
40 GB WD POS
512mb Gforce 6200
ASUS p4p800se

Took forever to load a map and would sporaticly jump from one side of the map to the other
got mad one day and drooped $500 on some new stuff. Now I am at:

P4
2.8Ghz
2 x 74GB 10,000 rpm WD Raptors (raid 0)
2 Gb dual channel DDR (4 x 512mb)
512 mb Geforce 6200
ASUS p4p800se

Now I am one of the first 3 or 4 in the map and the game runs great on med settings from begining to end....

I'd call mine average, but I run it on lowest settings for faster loading/better playing.

3 Ghz
1 Gb Ram
Radeon X600 256mb

I played on an eMachines with an AMD Athlon 2000+ @ 1.6GHz, 1GB of dual-channel RAM, but the computer sucked so bad it didn't support dual-channel, a ATi 9600 128mb GPU, and a crappy IDE ATA150 HDD. - I had dirt runways. :-/


Now, I have upgraded to a noice ABit mobo and an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.3GHz, with 2GB dual-channel RAM and a single SATA150 HDD. Same videocard, because I couldn't afford one (though that will change soon). I am now able to run everything on medium, except effects, geometry, and terrain, which are on high. I get an average 40 - 50FPS and like 70 - 80 in a jet or chopper. But, SF is unplayable. I drop to below 20FPS at times, and my 400RPM machine gun turns to 5RPM.
