Can my graphics card take anymore...?

[Fearosius]

Hi, I have a X1950GT 512MB with all settings maxed out, like 6x AA and 16x AF and have the 3D settings on ATI Catalyst maxed out as well. I was wondering what else I could do to have the full PR Xperience.

Thanks

Haha, not much more!

I guess you could turn your sound up super-high and put on a little army hat and pretend you're on a real battlefield.

Do you use an LCD screen? BF2 on my LCD benefits from vysnc, makes the game look much smoother. It will cap you fps and could cause some memory issues but since you have a 512mb card you shoud have lots of memory. There is a way to enable tripple buffering for vysnc to help deal with memory slow down and vysnc.

Past that I can't think of anything, unless you can find the secret button to enable HDR in BF2

Nice card by the way, I was very close to buying one of those but couldn't find one in time.

Damn can you take some screenies and show us? What kind of fps you get?
I have a 8800gts 320mb and Im running it with only 4x AA and no clue what my AF is because apparently unlike ati, nvidia doesn't let you control that...but Im getting 90+fps at all times. I figured smoother gameplay > a bit smoother edges.

Other than sound I dont really see anything you can improve. If you have crappy sound I'd say get an X-Fi card and some good directional headphones that come with a mic.

Have you tried tweakguides.com .. There is a guide in there pertaining to your question and video stuff and also in this guide there is info about freeware that enhances some of your settings beyond what you may be able to currently set them at...

Its a lot of reading but worth it .. you could read it when the server crashes etc...

Do something like what I do on Red Orchestra; get half-drunk on cheap Rhine wine, sling a Kar98k over my shoulder and exaggerate my deaths by flopping back in my chair.

Sound!

Get a good Sound blaster X-Fi and a good set of 5.1 speakers, I recommend the Logitech Z-5300e. Excellent speakers. Put sound on Ultra High setting, and thats the best gaming experience you'll get.

Audio > Video.

Transparency AntiAliasing (Don't know if ATI has it)
Color correction.

Yeh, i got my Transparency AntiAliasing on but I left the colour correctness at the default. I was messing around with my colour yesterday, the red became orange XD but I rather not mess with it.
