Hello,
So I installed the BF2 demo and it lags so much I can't enjoy it. I am playing at 1024x768 resolution..because for some reason that's the MAX resolution that shows up in the Video Options in the demo. (My monitor is a FPD2185W and can support a max 1680x1050 res).
I did set the options under the Video settings display to high. However, the game still looked bad (low res? iono) and it lagged. Under the Nvidia control properties, I set AA/AF to application controlled.
(DFI Ultra-D)
I have an Opteron 165 running @ 2.7Ghz
XfX 7800GT
1gb (2x512) Crucial Ballistix @ 270Mhz
Now, this may be my problem. My Maxtor 200Gb harddrive is not doing so good. When running HD Tach (Long Bench), I get:
Random Acccess: 15.6 MS
Average read: 44.1 MB/s
Burst Speed: 121.1MB/s
so can the HD be the cause of this bad performance...
(THis is an ATA-133 16mb Cache Maxtor 6B200RO..running with an nForce4 mobo chipset )
