Bad Company 2 PC Gameplay - e8400 3.0ghz / GTX 260

[007gametester]

Not bad! Check my channel. With a better video card you could have double performance! :P

[AeroFix94]

get the Q9550 to that motherboard instead :) it is still for sale!

[HD4VBE]

I'm thinking of getting this card how do you think this game will run with 4GB RAM and Intel Pentium D 950 (3.4GHz x2) or AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (2.0GHz x2)?

[AeroFix94]

@HD4VBE huge bottleneck both of those CPU, get an whole new motherboard,ram and cpu! get the AMD Phenom II X4 975 with an good AMD AM3 socket motherboard with cheap ram :)

[MagicalDwarf]

Im getting 40-80fps @ all maxed, full hd resolutions with E8400 3.6Ghz, 4 gigs 800Mhz DDR2 and HD6850pcs+. The game plays very smoothly :-)

[GameMaximum]

What's the average framerate you get with the processor? I have a GTX 460 and an E8400 clocked at 3.75GHz, and i get 35fps average, with GPU usage sitting at 25%.. I'm pissed.

[sicorange3]

@GameMaximum man, lately it's been messed up. I dusted out my tower to get it to run a bit smoother. Running fraps with the game (just to tell me fps, no more recording) it says I get 35 - 40. Or I get about 60 IF i face AWAY from all the action (turned around and all) :(

Our processors suck for today's games... Amazingly I did decent enough while recording this vid, but I can't wait for a new build ><

[GameMaximum]

@sicorange3 Yeah, I heard the latest patch ruined performance quite a bit, but and E8400 is a great processor, in line with some quad cores, even better because you can overclock the shit out of it. I did a fresh windows install, got a few fps up, but it's still unacceptably low, just about the same as you. I mean, 20% GPU usage? We should hammer the BC2 forums asking for a fix.. Especially because it lags for no apparent reason now.

[Tilyard123456]

@sicorange3 Really? Becuase my E8400 clocked and a Ati radeon 4850 plays Bf3 @ 50 fps. And I play this game at around 50-60. I also play Arma 2, which is amazingly CPU intensive, at around 40fps. And they consider 20-30 fps on that game to be good. @ very hgih settings.

[Mecha120]

@GameMaximum FYI, BC2 (and bf3 obviously) is EXTREMELY cpu intensive. with BC2, one core alone would be dedicated to handling all the audio thats processed. this basically puts anything short of a quad core processor to its knees if trying to run the game on high settings.

[GameMaximum]

@Mecha120 I got a quad core recently (a Q8400) and holy shit, BC2 and BF3 run smooth as butter.

Do you lag any and home much u pay for?

[sharinganguneye]

u done with gtaIV?

[monstero111]

have you on this video same settings like at your old cpu ? all max and 16x AA or what ever ??

and if you put that off how many fps do you have with your cpu ?

i have ahlon II x2 250 2x 3GHz its not strong as yours but i thing 2x AA or 1x should run the game well...

[sicorange3]

@monstero111 I think on this video, I used 4x. Using 16x doesn't drop it too much more, but there is a difference. On my last vid, with the e5200, I kinda put it thru hell with settings on max. You can tell by how laggy the old one was. Game runs fine now, even while recording, and a fresh restart of the computer helps too.

nice nades man

[sicorange3]

@Licardo7 haha, thanks! :)

[sk8rdude985]

huge question. i have the same processor at the same speed, a GTX260 Core216 SUPERCLOCKED and my frames a not too good. im getting about the same but it looks very choppy and when sniping the xhair skips pixels. its very in accurate at far distances. how are u doing so well? with the same set up?

[sicorange3]

@sk8rdude985 Not too sure if I can help, lemme try. Have you updated your video card drivers? (speaking of which, I might need to as well) One thing I have noticed, a fresh restart of the computer helps with the fps/smoothness of the game. Try that. Also - how much ram do you have? I have 4gb @ 1066mhz, but I would like to have double that amount :\

[sk8rdude985]

@sicorange3 i have 4Gb also GDDR2 800. not very fast

[SpyderDevelopment]

@sk8rdude985 Ram can't be GDDR2 GDDR means : for Double Data Rate-Synchronous GRAPHIC and Texture saving Ram.

[senorcaradeperro]

0.5 Ghz made that much difference huh, I don't have the game yet but I was wondering how it was going to run in my 2.8 GHz intel processor and now I have a good idea how it will.

Awesome videos (both of them, with 2.5 Ghz and 3 Ghz)

[PortaleMedia]

good sniping =)

[thebtran1]

whats the settings is it maxed out?

[DjBlasTboY]

wow long time no see! been ages
