sitting waiting on my 7800 GTX

what you are running is not maxed out.... and unless you have a very fast HD that your swap file is on you are still hitting your page file...

try flying into a heavy combat area when lots of things have to load... you will feel the stutter.. specially on jets that are very fast...

foot soldiers dont feel it as much... you might not ever feel it..
but as a Pilot I feel it very badly...

and I run shadows at max and 4x aa

for comparison... I run all my other games at 1600x1200 8x aa and 8x AF.... this includes Doom3 and Halflife2... and it does not stutter ever... thats with max detail nothing turned town from max...

BF2 is a system hog..

Don't go saying 'most people' about AA at high res, there have been many threads in the video section where they laughed at people who use AA at high res, the benefits just are not there. Oh, and most of what I do is fly around in heavy combat, I have felt a stutter only once, and that was when my ping was above 200.

Now it's my turn to call shens, you say you can run Doom 3 at 1600x1200 with 8xaa and 8xAF and no suttering at all? Thats kinda funny since people with 6800 Ultra SLI systems can barely say that, let alone a single Ultra with an "old" A 64 3200. Sorry dude, thats pushing it.

Check this page, thats from the recent 7800 GTX review by Anandtech. They were running a FX-55 and a single Ultra got only 41.6 FPS average at 1600x1200, and thats with only 4x aa on, not 8x. 41.6 fps is not exactly stutter free my friend, let alone what ever rates your actually getting. And the menu screen does not count

Sorry for a thread hijack OP, I still think your system is "da bomb!"

shens all you want.. but timedemo is well above 30fps in high since I dont have a 512 meg card to run ultra high...

to the human eye I cannot tell the difference above a smooth constant 30+ fps..


btw why would I not run AA at high res.. at higher res the jaggies are still there...
i want photoreaslistic textures with no jaggies..
I run CRTs with very low dot pitch just for this reason stead of lower res higher dot pitch flat panels..

AA makes the picture beautiful.

Not to be nit picky, but if my running BF 2 without AA is not considered max, then you running Doom 3 at high instead of ultra high would also not be considered max, regardless of hardware limitations.

And your eyes must suck, 'most' people (there you go, I also used the ambiguous 'most') can tell a difference between 30 and 60 fps. Even my non-gamer wife can tell a difference, and thats pretty funny. I consider an average FPS of below 60 to be stuttering as do alot of hardcore gamers.

Seriously dude, whats with all the '...' kinda strange to leave each sentence with a '...' instead of a '.'
