[Anthony817]

ok guys everytime that i try to get on gazala on a server or on single player i have incredible lag.some times its so bad i get like 1 frame every 5 seconds.i have a dual core intel cpu,3 gigz of ram and an ATI x1650 pro 512 mb,with all settings on high.my game wont do that on any other map,plz help!

[tehdude]

Try setting BF2 to run on only one core....

Start Bf2 > Alt + Tab > Ctrl + Alt + Del > Task Manager > Right Click On Bf2.exe in the process tab > Set Affinity > Uncheck CPU 0

then load the map up and see what happens

[Anthony817]

The problem is your system...not the MOD.

With those specs it should play like butter.

[Anthony817]

yes it should run great but it dont?on every other mod i have there is no problems running any of them,so i dont think its me specs.mabey some bug?

[PuckerFactor]

lol...it's very important for us to know what keyboard, mouse and speakers you have.

I just researched your video card, I thought it was a top range ATI card.

Dude, you have a $65 video card and you're trying to run the most resource hungry map ever made for BF2....on high.

if it was a bug, then everyone would have that exact problem. This is not the case. I'm sorry, this is just a hardware issue not being able to lift a very heavy map. Don't feel bad about it, the BF2 engine is not a well optimized engine and a lot of people run into problems with Gazala.

[tehdude]

Very good point Pucker...That video card is a HUGE bottle-neck

[PuckerFactor]

it's actually great value for money, you get a whole lot of bang for the buck! To be able to play most BF2 maps on high for that amount of money is great value.

I would further add that Vista is still not very game friendly.  Lots of folks continue to run into various little bugs that don't effect XP users.

woah woah woah!dont knock my card man! its an x 1650 pro 512 mb!thats pretty good actualy,the fact that im able to run vista at all should tell you that,lol,i actualy just bought that card at best buy for $225.00 like not even 4 months ago, so i dont know what site you got your sources from but im sure it was a typo. 65 bucks for a 512 mb card?really man they must have messed up im sure.its not your fault tho, no its really a good card tho i can play 2142 maxed out!so it cant be the card.lol,no hard feelings tho,im not mad.
heres the card on the ati site.tell me what the price is.http://www.shopati.ca/product.asp?sku=3122114

p.s.oh btw ive got the ati version.that saphire card just looks cheap.

[tehdude]

Well personally I'm an Nvidia fan.  So you already have a strike against you in my book   You are going to have to lower your settings and get rid of Vista (jk )

[Anthony817]

i was an nvidia fan too my self,thought i would never buy an ati card.well my first card i ever got was a 6200 series card ::)it really sucked. first off i tried everything i could to play videos but the card must have been defective or something?i thought nvdia was suposedly the best but my first round with em sucked.im not nocking nvidia tho i prolly just got 1 of like a thousand that was defective,but im sure that they made billions more that were perfect.i just got burnt.

[tehdude]

ATIs were good cards...I ran a 9600XT for the longest time.  It was a good card.  But I've had a 7600GT and now have a 7950GT nVidia.  Both have been rock solid stable for me and I've not seen anything ATI that has come close.  I want an nVidia 8800 series card now. for those soon to be coming DX10 games

Wow, half a page of specs and you get the most important one wrong!...LOL ...there's sometimes a big difference omitting a "Pro" or X

Actually your wrong....if you look at my link in my second post (green) you will see a non Pro for $65 at NewEgg..

in fact to make it worse....check this NewEgg link http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2000380048%20106790809%201068310557&bop=And&Order=PRICE

you will see that 512mb Pros start at $65 ...and go to $150 ... at first glance most of them have near enough the same specs...cept the core processor run from 500mhz to 600mhz....yet the $65 one has 600mhz.


BestBuy is not the "Best" place to "Buy" video cards.
