Battlefield 2 settings

[Smartazz]

I use maxed out at 1280 by 1024 because my monitor can't handle higher resolutions.

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

1600x1200 All high, 4x AA

 

[Schadenfroh]

1600 x 1200
16x AF

High on all, shadows disabled, max view distance

All on medium except lighting, which is on low and no AA...🙁 But w/e, it looks good except for all the jaggies.

Isn't maxed out the same as High?

Anyway since I moved to a Opty/7800GT rig I just turn it to native 1680x1050 and put everything on/high. That includes High AF and 4x AA. And it still runs smoother than my Barton/9800 Pro rig did at 1280x768, no AA/AF, medium and low graphic details.

But for those who need additional FPS, try the tweakguides.net BF2 guide. They have low/med/hi comparison shots so you can turn down the details that hardly matter but drop fps but keep important ones at medium at least. For example. if you need a little bit of additional fps, these are just fine at medium as opposed to high: terrain, effects, textures, lighting. Dynamic shadows and dymanic lighting should be no higher than medium unless you are running everything maxed at plenty of fps (like me, w00t).

Maxed @ custom 1920x1200 resolution

Someone asked isn't Maxed out the same as high? I meant:
maxed out-max res. your monitor can handle with everything high.
High-any res. with settings on high.

i'm maxed out at 1280x1024, everything's very smooth.

i am lcd limited (and gpu limited too) at 1280x1024. all high with textures on med and dynamic stuff off, as they didn't look good. all this and still under 1GB total ram usage 😀

 

[narutofan36]

it would be cool if u told us your fps as well ^_^ compare systems?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I don't have the real game, but I play the demo on occasion. 320x240 and lowest settings here.

 

[shortylickens]

1600x1200, Max detail.

It stutters for the first 30 seconds and then plays great.
Too bad I hate the game itself.

bf2 is kind of a pain in the a$$ to get real averaged fps out of since it has no builtin benchmark utility and the renderer.drawfps 1 is of little use when you are in a battle. that leaves fraps with its benchmark portion as the only viable option, or the one that is used here, but again it is kind of a pain in the a$$ to get going.

i would say mine is at least 35-40fps up to bf2 cap of 99.

With the system in the sig, I run at 1280X960 with all settings maxed out. My average fps is over 80.

 

[Supermercado]

All on low, I think, running at 800x600 (which sucks since my monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024). My machine's not great (2.4 P4, 512MB RAM, Radeon 9700 non-pro) so I do what I can. I'd like to bump it up a bit, so I may try 1024x768 and get at least a little closer to the native of my monitor but that's likely all I'll be able to do until a new video card comes my way 🙂

 

[phantom404]

System in my sig I run the game at 1680x1050 will all the settings maxed out in both ATI's cat and in game settings.

1280 x 1024 (my monitor's max), no AA, though I should try it with AA on

 

[TallBill]

Low, runs like a totally different game. So smooth.

 

[cw42]

mostly everything high, except low for all the light/shadow settings. I gotta be able to see those dark areas :]
