Right, I was being vaguely enthusiastic about BF2 last night after some quick experimentation with the demo, but now I'm feeling seriously disheartened, looking at everyone else complaining about performance with their ninja boxes. I have
Athlon XP 2600+
512Mb main memory
128Mb Radeon 9550.
Now, I've already clocked the 9550 from default timings of 250MHz core, 400MHz memory to 360MHz core 500MHz memory, which makes a huge difference to everything, and lifts the card from ****e to almost a 9600Pro. But while the game runs perfectly smooth on "not much better than CounterStrike" all-low graphics, I'm going to get my arse handed me with stutters and watch it die if I want shiny pictures, aren't I?
I'm experimenting with the demo at the moment to see if it gives a better idea, but that's just a small map. Do things get worse in a big way in the full game? Is anyone enjoying themselves on a similarly ****e box?
