I thought they did this on purpose because in real life your peripheral vision is stronger.

for reals. Sometimes, when I look directly at a star cluster at night, I can't see it, but if I look off to the left er right, I can see it better, its weird

That's because the there are more cone cells on your fovea. Cone cells (for colour vision) only work at optimum in well lit surroundings.
On the periphery there are more rod cells (for black and white vision) which also work good in low-light surroundings.
Try looking at a coloured low-light source at night (e.g. a red LED)! You'll only see it black and white in the periphery.

So, if you focus a low light source at night, you won't see it, but you'll see it a little off center, except of course if you focus it at your blind spot.

But yes, those same rod cells also have a faster response time.

Its a quote.

Could someone help me figure out what the max settings on a GeForce 6400 video card would be for BF2. I play with Terrain on Low, Effects and Geometry at medium, texture low, max distance 100%.
Like I said I have a Walmart computer with 2gigs of ram and The video card.
