    Battlefield 2 very glitchy

    Here's an example of the difference between High textures and Medium textures. Everything else is on High. High Tex Med Tex Not the best example since its kind of a foggy map. Something like the FuShee map with its brightly detailed textures would be a better comparison. But at...

    Battlefield 2 very glitchy

    Im sure you've heard 2 gigs flippantly flaunted around as a "fix it" before, but unfortunately this time its for real. Even developers at Dice in several chat discussions said 2 gigs was optimal when pressed. The size of the 64p maps and the relatively detailed textures require the engine to...

    Battlefield 2 very glitchy

    You probably get pretty good framerates with that rig, even with settings on all high. Its the HDD thrashing thats causing the stuttering or perceived "lag". The CPU/GPU isnt the bottleneck here I assure you. Whats happening is with textures on high these huge maps become incredible memory hogs...

    Battlefield 2 very glitchy

    Its not the servers and its not lag. Its the textures and the 1 gig of ram that is the problem. The bigger maps dig deep into your page file trying to load all the textures, even with 1 gig, resulting in massive thrashing of your HDD. Try putting textures and shadows down to medium and the game...

    Performance with Battlefield 2

    To run 1280x1024 put this at the end of your shortcut target (right click the shortcut or .exe, select properties)... +szx 1280 +szy 1024" Change the value to whatever res you want and dont forget the quote. As for performance I have to disagree with the 1 gig getting owned claim. Gig...

    Using RivaTuner to Overclock, cant keep 2D memory at default?

    Im probably missing something right in front of my face but I cant figure this out. I have my 6800 GT OC'd to Ultra speeds but I cant seem to keep my 2D memory frequency to stay at the default with Coolbits or RivaTuner. When I try to save 2D startup at default in RivaTurner I get warned "Start...

    Here ya go. I could have gone for slightly higher clocks but this is what I use every day on the system. I like how it says I have a "4 mhz FSB" though, lol. Now thats an underclock... 5392 3DMarks 5024 CPUMarks http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=924786

    Method for testing video card OC stability?

    I installed a VF-700 on my PNY 6800 GT and couldn't believe the drop in temp I got. Up to 17c less than the stock cooler under full load! PNY has one grade A pos heatsink. Anyhow now Im ready to OC this sucker. Whats the best method for checking stability/artifacts etc? (Besides a lot of...

    Can't properly OC A64 3500+ Venice Rev.E - pc freeze

    Your ram may be sensitive to the higher clock with it's default timings. Try loosening them to something like 2.5-3-3-7 (or 2.5-4-3-7) and see if its stable again with the 210 fsb. Dont be afraid to up the voltage on the ram a bit either. Im rather new to the OC'ing biz myself but really the...

    Getting two different temp readings for 6800 GT

    Im using 71.89, and I know about the temp bug on 71.84. I had crazy shit like 62c idle in the Nvid Cpl with 71.84. This is a different issue, and its not driver related as far as I can tell. I have two programs telling me the sensor is reading one value, and two other programs telling me its...

    Getting two different temp readings for 6800 GT

    So which one do you go with? To add to the debate going on in my system SpeedFan agrees with Everest, while RivaTuner agrees with the Nvidia Cpl.

    Getting two different temp readings for 6800 GT

    Between the Nvidia control panel and Everest (a diag tool accurate for my CPU/HDD temps, voltages etc). Nvidia control panel is almost always 10c higher than what Everest is telling me. Under load using the Rthdribl Demo (aka the GPU BBQ) the Nvidia Control panel says its up to 88c. Yikes. But...

    Problems with a quirky, sweaty PNY 6800GT, should I RMA?

    Just an update, Im also getting a similar lock up in the Splinter Cell:CT demo (as soon as the level loads). I installed my old 9800pro and both the SC Demo and 3DMark05 ran fine, no freezes in either case. I realize there are variables to consider but I figure thats pretty telling as far as...

    Windows Update Oddity - .NET Framework 1.1 SP1?

    I recently installed my new rig with SP2 already on the XP disc (legit OEM version fwiw) and ran Windows Update first thing. Downloaded all the security updates, Windows Media 10, .NET Framework 1.1 etc. After I reboot I double check Windows Update just to make sure everything went OK, and now...
