piotrgurin Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I need help my computer is getting owned by battlfield 2. I think it might be because my monitor is gigantious but i dunno. It keeps crashing if i try to pump up the video settings. So was thinking of buying an AMD x2. How do those compare to the best venice, and will it even run on my mobo? Also, should i buy another gig of ram? -Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 An X2 processor won't help because BF2 is a single threaded application. But an upgrade to say a 3800+ Venice core will do wonders for your gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCamaro Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 BF2 like lots and lots and lots of Ram. If it's really pwning your compy, go to the audio config screen in BF2 and tick the "english VO only" setting, then it won't have to load the chinese and Arabic languages for character voice overs. That'll help alot. Overclocking your Winnie is also a good idea, and there is lots of info on how to do it right in these forums. I also disabled the opening movies and GUI background movies, seemed to help a bit. Are you using Onboard sound??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piotrgurin Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 There about a hundred dollar difference between the x2 3800 and the venice 3800. You guys really think i should just get the venice? Also if i get more ram i just get the same kind and pop it in right? all i do? I tried setting those bios settings that ReGone posted somewhere for a 3000 but my the game crashed even more so i'm back to optimized. Yea i'm using sound off the mobo, is that bad?

Tony420 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 It would be stupid to only go single core when dual core is that much better and in your case only 100$ more for ANOTHER cpu! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piotrgurin Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Wohooo, in that case i might aswell get the x2 4200. 8) Does it work on Ultra-D though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kronos Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 You might want to look at the 3700+ Sandiego. The 1Mb cache is nice. Plus it seems to OC well. I've got mine OC'd to 2750mhz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
