And I'm not sure why you asked what family his CPU is from, when he said in his post that it's an AM2..



The date his GFX card was released has little to do with how it will run the game.
That's the same as saying a 2006 1.5L Suzuki Swift is faster than a 1990 5L V8 Commodore simply because it's newer. It doesn't work that way. It's all about the specs.

And you can't compare BF2 Vanilla with Project Reality. Yo may as well be comparing the original Doom with Crysis.

Ever wondered why PR looks a lot better than BF2 Vanilla? Ask the Devs, PR uses a lot more Vram because of the extra texture rendering involved.

Sure, his card will run it - but not at high specs, which is what he wants. and when I say high specs I'm talking all optimizations off in NCP, 16xAF and 8-16xAA @ high res..



Furthermore, a 32bit OS can access around 3.5GB of system ram, less system reserved memory (unless the memory hole is enabled in the bios). Vista32 uses close to a gig just by itself.

So now we're down to around 2GB of available memory of which PR will use 1.5- 2GB when maxed out.

That doesn't leave much left over does it... ..

Well he says he can play on all high with no problems with the exception of a couple of maps. I run vista, it is currently using 700MB of memory. However, vista is designed to load as much information into memory as possible. This means that not everything in the memory is important. When I open up the game if memory is getting low it will overwrite unimportant information. In fact, I don't see much point to you mentioning the ram, what are you trying to say?
And I don't see how the comparison between project reality and battlefield 2 is the same as comparing doom and crysis. Both project reality and battlefield 2 use the same engine, the only difference is the size of the maps, the amount of objects on the map, the amount of triangles on the weapons etc and the view distance. Sure it has to render more stuff, however, it would have a bigger impact on ram and the cpu than the graphics card.

This quote is taken from the poll on graphic settings. If you look at his profile hes using a 6800. Now is the 9500 GT worse than the 6800? Sure it has a 256 bit memory interface, but my card has only 128 bit and it runs fine. He said he wanted to run the settings on high, but it doesn't mean he wants/can run at a huge resolution. For all you know he might plan on running at 1440x900 or 1280x800. The card should be able to run on max detail though it would have problems at high resolution. I personally have a 8500 GT, I run quite a few details on high, shadows off and lighting settings at medium from memory. However, I can run full details, except for AA, @ 1440x900 on quite a few maps. However, since my computer only has a core 2 4300 (@1.8GHz) I'm sure this is holding my computer back. If I could get a better CPU it would run much better.

Ok, so i did the renderer.drawFps 1 n i got 15 fps on fallujah with about 18 ppl in server. And i got 30 fps average on Qwai with 55 ppl, but it dropped to 25 sometimes. Also, my firend is going to give me windows 7(idk what version but i think a good 1, not the basic) so i will install that on the weekend... Hope you guys can help somemore

Mate I'm not going argue for the sake of arguing...

Why don't you read what it says in my profile under "occupation". And FWIW I have 7,000 posts on Guru3D.



Without trying to sound like a prick, there is no debate on this subject,... you simply lack an understanding of how computers and operating systems work.

Sorry mate, didn't mean to hijack your thread...

Great start with installing Windows 7 (64 bit hopefully) .

.Is it the RC (beta) version or the released version? If it's the RC version it needs to be build 7127 or below in order to work with Pb - just to let you know...

he says it is windows 7 ultimate 64 bit...

What settings are you using in Nvidia control panel?

[theiceman]

the settings i use now? or what?

[richyrich55]

Lawl.

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Vista 32, 2gb RAM, HD 2600 Pro 256mb, 450 watt psu.

I play on all high settings except for lighting which is low, and the dynamic options are off and I have no in game AA.

Smooth as a baby's ass.
