Duff-e Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 i love how i've had my 9700 pro since it first came out (about 3 years at this point) and yet it still runs most current games well (at respectable settings...albeit sans high AA/AF....but still) Quote

I want to know what to upgrade, memory, gfx or cpu. What better way to know, then to compare stats. Looks like memory is a big player here. Quote
DanielAragon Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 well duh, you gotta upgrade your video card. as long as you have a decent processor and abundant ram, video card is really what determines how well your comp will play games correct me if im wrong here Quote

von*ferret Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Doesn't matter how fast your video card is. BF2 takes a lot of information and stores it in memory cache. If you dont have enough it has to access your harddrive a shit ton causing slowdowns. Graphic Cards important? Yes. Memory equaly if not more important? Definatley. IMHO Quote
Duff-e Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 i remember when i went from 512 to 1 gb because of farcry the scope or binoculars would take like a 4 second delay to come up......when i stuck in the other 512 it was very sexy Quote

seppe Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 p4 3ghz ati 9800XL 512 MBram Nothing overclocked everything high detail, medium fps 50 Quote
JynxDaddy Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 P4 2.4ghz 9800xt 512mb ram All Medium, weird jittery slowdowns for a few seconds sometimes - caused by pagefile I guess. I know my cpu sux0r and I need more ram. Quote
ReNo Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 RAM is so cheap just now that for what little it will set you back, you might as well upgrade to 1gb. Any more is overkill for gaming and I doubt you'd notice any sort of performance increase going beyond it. Quote
