Battlefield 2 loading time using Gigabyte Iram card

[exaurius]

the game is programmed bad, but i still like it, i get long load times too and have gig ram

[zearsocom]

ppl i have a intel i7 quad core 3.0ghz

and 12gb of ddr 3 ram and nvidia gxt 295 video card and it took me about an hour to load

[chchang1]

no way

[DreadGamers]

@zearsocom lol, are u serious?

[ChaplainDMK]

@zearsocom

yeap...

BF2 load times are one of the longest in any game i've known...

actualy scratch that. The "Optimising shaders" load (new patch, tweeking settings, reinstalling) is THE single longest time i've spent watching a game load.

I estimated that it took me 45 minutes on a Intel Pentium Duo 3 ghz, 8800GT 512MB and 1 gig of ram to load the god damn game...

And then it dropped me out of the game... I went bezerk.

@zearsocom 12 gb ram=OVERKILL!! o.O

[CyborgEffects]

@krullet111

What about 8?

[NetPatriot]

thats about 24 sec, takes shorter time to start a single player game than a multiplayer game.

[eriksandahl]

That was not fast, considering you played singeplayer that have half the boot-time as the multiplayer. I can join a multiplayer game in the same time.

[Nubs926]

That's pretty quick, considering how epic the BF2 loading times usually are. o_O

[SAMPMoviesTFS]

some times its between 1.5-2 then i lowered my settings

[wilzy123]

I hope that thing was free...

[joshuar5665]

plz help me my computer takes about 30 mins to start to play! i have a acer vista! 3200+ prosester ( sorry bad english )

[cdx873v]

Just trow it out the window and get yourself a decent new one. that shit is mad old crap!

or how about this? boot it up. go make yourself a cup of coffee and maybe dinner. then by the time your done, it will be ready for you!

[mogul1265]

lol no, i play BF2 on a amd 3200 maxed, he need a video card.

[junkyjuice21]

what a joke. literally.

[eowdevastator]

lol i beat that without the iram or whatever your on about

[XenTheKiller]

Actually, In teh VERY beginning BF2 loaded liek that for me too.....

Pcs can load that fast without iram

Try to beat 5 Secs without iram (Im loading in about 17secs)

[Frohicky1]

Mine loads only a little slower than that (using a Samsung Spinpoint T166). What CPU do you have Barbatolux? What speed is it at? Do you know if it is maxed out when BF2 loading?

[FeelTheLoveBabe]

mines loads like that i have a dell xps 420

[SkyMedia2008]

no it doesn't..

[FeelTheLoveBabe]

ummm, yes it does?

[SkyMedia2008]

So your "normal" harddisk loads as fast as I-ram? Ya suuuuuureeeeeeeeeee, liar

[Fetus133]

I have BF2 on a 7200rpm drive, doesn't take that much longer than this to load up. . .

[FeelTheLoveBabe]

Ok.... Go on dell website search Dell xps 420 and just look at details then cry bitch

[NeoGen89]

That's not i-RAM but raid 0 the only reason it's just as fast as i-RAM is because i-RAM is bottlenecked by SATA, else the loading would have at least 20 times faster. Plus loading a game is not just a lot of work for the hard drive, people with faster CPU's benefit from faster loading times too.

[b2flsdc]

umm. why don't you just make a video proving it instead of bragging about something noone believes. Iram has less than 1 ms seek time and in addition this is 4 of them in a raid 0. I know for a fact that a puny 7200RPM drive would not do the same thing.

[jasa00]

acctually dude he was right. I-ram needs a PCI-E slot to really prove itself but even then its still going to be slower than its potential. RAM runs in Gigabuytes per second. DDR runs at about 6gb/s i beleive. SATA 2 Only allows upto 300mb/s

[BR41NS]

WOW ur BF2 loading fast! i have to wait about 2 min. :)

[YTUAR]

This is a deceptive video.

When you play an "offline" map (i.e., start a local server), the verification step is skipped. This is what contributes to the massive "loading" times when playing online. Since the data that needs to be verified is already stored in the main memory (most of it anyway, assuming you have 1-2+ GB), it's mostly CPU/FSB/RAM that affect verification speed. For the record, my system loads the data as fast as this video's, and I don't have i-RAM or even a high end system.

[gamerDOWN]

IS THE DEMO THATS Y

[jtrobber120]

BF2... Loading something fast is not really possible cause the loading sucks.

[D4M1R105]

Yea and patch 1.41 slows up my loading

[browndog1978]

The loading before the start of a round is loading into the video card, so iram will not make a difference.

[feliiQ]

that wasnt fast at all..

try it online instead, lol

[Artuir82]

It's not entirely dependant on the hard drive. For whatever reason, BF2's loading method is a bit ass backwards. It's not efficient in the least. Though that is a given, this still was pretty damn quick.

[dp0Garfield]

thats about as fast as my 526 mb card

[germanfunclan]

Singleplayer is everytime faster

[dp0Garfield]

i know

[hackerx31337]

This has NOTHING to do with video hards, this as a card that uses RAM to create an INCREDIBLY fast drive for a PC.

[pjl3dm]

doesn't seem to be that fast at all. maybe there's something wrong?

[Flashbot]

oke.. now try it online.. than it wil be over 40 sec.

Demo scene of BF2 (Battlefield 2) Loaded in 23 seconds using 4x Iram (Gigabyte) Raid 0 (Processor has a huge effect on loading time !).
