loc.o Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 It probably doesnt like his settings, no problems here so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 BF2 is very demanding.. I just finshed testing another config which ended up being primememtest3dmark stable but BF2 would crashfreeze.. I loosened up some ram timings and its been fine.. Sometimes you can count on stability testers.. I mean they are a start but then you have to tweak for game stability sometimes..

prodeous Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I consider the BF2 as one of the best stability tests. Even if all other stability tests pass. this one will shure show you its teath if somethign is just slightly out. And its more fun Just make shure you play a local game, to stress your system even more by hosting server and bot AI. As for not liking OC'd CPU's Had my Venice 3200 running at 2.8 and played for a few hours without issues.. ITs more picky about stable systems. Wich is good.

evogre3n Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 should add it to the A64 overclocking guide.. "FOR ULTIMATE STABILITY ASSURANCE: PLAY BF2" lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loc.o Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Whats up with the SD THunDA ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 should add it to the A64 overclocking guide.. "FOR ULTIMATE STABILITY ASSURANCE: PLAY BF2" lol haha.. You need play 8-10 hours of BF2 non stop.. then your stable.. Whats up with the SD THunDA ? I got greedy one night and tried to stabilize 290x10 with 2gig's..lol.. I think I made the memory controller mad and she only runs fully stable with the memory on a divider running @ 200mhz.. I have a 3200 venice on its way so I can test and confirm the sandy is shot.. ** sniffles** She lived a good 2 months.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbork Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 If your machine is stable u shouldn't have any probs. No probs with BF2 here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimmetje Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I have even installed BF2 when my rig was running @ 2.47Ghz (275 HTT speed) and it installed just fine. And it also runs just fine for me on 1024x768 with all details on high. Heavy duty game I have to admit, at that setting it can pull it, but not much heavier I think.

rhiridflaidd Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I disagree. BF2 is an awful way to test for stability. The game itself is unstable, and there is no way of telling if instability is down to your rig setup, or down to a disgruntled EA employee putting in a few lazy lines of code. I used to crash to desktop a lot with v1.0, now on 1.2 I never crash when playing, but persuading the game to start up might take a few tries. It might be my overclock that's causing the application launch instability; but given that everything else is rock stable, I doubt it.

mack73 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I've never had a problem with BF2 and my OC. Its never crashed while playing with any version. Always rock solid here :nod: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
