Help with Battlefield 2 and low FPS

[Inferno69]

Hello,

I have a decent system:

AMD 64 3500+
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum mobo
1gb (2x512 mb) ddr-400 ram
PNY 6800 GT Overclocked past ultra speeds w/ the 77.50 Forceware drivers.

Alright, what I'm trying to get at is that my Computer should be able to handle this game at maxed out settings, my friend has about the same specs and he can play this game flawlessly at high settings and aa @ 2x. When I put on the same settings I get looowww FPS, it's really annoying. Anybody have any suggestions? I closed down eveything in my bottom right hand corner before playing, i have about 38 processes when playing, no adware/spyware, no viruses/trojans.

Thanks

At the same resolutions?

I'd just lower your graphics settings and save yourself the hassle

Using Norton anti virus? That sucker is a game stopper!

Yes, I am

I can't close it in the processes thing because it says it's unable to or something like that.

 

[Inferno69]

Any other suggestions or how to close NAV 2005?

This is the error it gives me:

alll i do is disable it, not actually turn it off. i have a 6800gt with the demos drivers, i run everything on high except terrain, which is on medium. i also have view distance at 90% and the texture thing at medium and 2xaa, and i get perfectly smooth play.

[Inferno69]

okay, i'll try that in a bit

 

[Ike0069]

Try the drivers that came with the demo. They seem to help quite abit for nvidia cards.

 

[Inferno69]

It didn't work.

I tried the BF2 drivers and turing NAV off, both didn't work

I'm getting pretty mad, other people have a lot worse systems then me and are playing this game with maxed out settings at 4x aa

I closed the other though, I'll try the game now.

 

[Inferno69]

it worked a tiny bit, you think that I might need to defrag my driver?

I've never done that and my computer seems to be loading a LOT when its in game

 

[SVT Cobra]

whens the last time you reformatted your HD?? j/w...but this shouldnt effect game performance

 

[Ike0069]

Have you ever installed the nVidia chipset drivers from nvidia's site?
If not, doing that will make a fairly significant difference.

About a month ago.

I'm pretty sure I did, not 100%.

 

[Inferno69]

yeh, the defrag did nothing

 

[SlitheryDee]

Are you getting performance that is comparable to your friend's computer in games other than BF2?

Have you downloaded the latest patch, update, etc?

 

[xTYBALTx]

Turn off advanced shadows.

 

[Inferno69]

Did that, didn't help.

This is getting really frusterating.
