I'll appreciate more insights on people with newer processors like the Pentium D or core 2 duo... I have a bad mobo and want to upgrade, I'm leaning toward a Pentium D but does BF2 runs better with this processor?
Thanks | |

Get a Core2Duo, they offer a great bang for the buck and are way faster than the crappy Pentium D. Trust me, they're hardly better than their P4 counterparts. The way they're designed basically kills the dual core concept, as they just don't take use second core to it's full potential. Conroe/Core2Duo on the other hand does, and does a really good job at it. The 6600 and 6800 are the best CPU's you can get for a (relatively) low price, in fact the 6800 is faster than AMD's FX62 while costing nearly half it's price.
Have you concider going AMD by the way? Their X2 CPU's are great and really cheap since Conroe's launch. -------------------  Props to my Americano Pimpa~ Tweaker, for being Neo's very own sexy d00d | |

hello, I'm about to purchase a 8800gts gfx card, and wanted to know if any of you have the new G80 series of nvidia cards and how it runs on bf2. i found ea has only certain cards which work perfectly with their games. my expansions for mohaa stoped working when i bought a new card years ago with latest drivers... anyway can anyone out there tell me if they have any trouble running the dx10 card? i know it supports dx9 but u know how ea are

Will battlefield 2 run on a core 2 duo T5200 - the clock is set at 16.GHz. i.e. Does the dual core bump this to 3.2GHz and give good performance. I'm a little confused about whether BF2 will see it as a multithreading system or not (Is BF2 multithreading?).
Cheers J | |

sorry, I meant 1.6GHz for the clock speed!!

Having two cores doesn't double the amoutn of cycles (hz). A 1.6ghz core 2 duo will handle BF2 just fine. It will only use one core because BF2 wasn't made for multi-core systems. Because of how efficient the Core 2 duo is, a single core of the chip can do amazing things.
Basically, the game will run fine, as long as you have the video card and ram for it, on that CPU. ------------------- Asus P5Q Pro Q6600 @ 3.2ghz 1.18vcore (400x8) 4x1GB G.Skill PC2-6400 Evga GTX 275 2x250GB 7200.10s Raid 0 OCZ GameXtreme 600w | |

Cool, the rest of the system is strong:
533 MHz FSB 2GB DDR2 533MHz dual channel x1400 Radeon 256MB 7200RPM 80GB HD Yeah, I was aware of the common clock - Just wasn't sure if BF2 was multithreading or not (or how it's installation process performance-checks the system!). Thanks for the help. J | |

the real video card requirements are these:
Video card must have 128 MB or more memory and one of the following chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 or greater ATI Radeon 8500 or greater you put this under minimun requirements but then u have other stuff for the video card section. -------------------  Sign my Guestbook quote Kale | |

Your videocard will be holding you back though, I suggest you try the demo before you buy the game.

My friend runs it with a 7600 and it runs way better than my other friend who has some 5950 or some geforce card he has.

I checked out system requirements lab to see if I'd be able to play this game and apparently my CPU doesn't reach the minimum, but my CPU speed surpasses the recommended speed.
my CPU minimum recommended CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) Pentium 4 or Athlon XP equivalent same as minimum Speed: 2.66 GHz 1.7 GHz 2.4 GHz If everything else (ram, video card, etc) are good enough, should i still be able to play bf2 with this CPU? ------------------- top poster in a forum for a game i've never played. quote The World Health Organisation | |

It only says you don't meet the minimum because you have a Celeron processor and Celeron processors are definetly not for gaming. BF2 will still run, but don't expect all high settings even if you do have a fantastic video card and RAM.
If you have the time and space, download the battlefield2 Demo. -------------------  | |

I just wanted to see if my CPU would be good enough for the game. I never actually said everything else was. Unfortunately, i have integrated graphics, with 32MB of vid ram, no transform and lighting and no pixel or vertex shaders. Everything else is good though so i just have to upgrade the video card.
Thanks for the info. ------------------- top poster in a forum for a game i've never played. quote The World Health Organisation | |
