BF2/2142 Will it Run?

Max86 · 12-29-2006, 02:37 PM

So this is what I am playing with...its not the "recommended" but its above the minimum.

eMachines T6528 AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz

Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce 7600 GT / 256MB GDDR3
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...Tab=2&NoMapp=0

PSU
Thermaltake / PurePower / 430-Watt / ATX
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...Tab=0&NoMapp=0

Also 1.5gb of Ram

Do you think that this set up will be able to run the game where there is no lag (say on medium specs)

I am not very computer savy and the more I read the more I get confused I must admit.

The reason I ask is my card is suppose to be pretty good but its not supported by the game so will it still work is my problem.
So I ask you game savy people also I dunno if my card has this 2.0 pixel shader they speak of either and cant find any info on it.

The req for each game is below. Thanks for any help you can give me!

The recommend settings for the games are as is.

your pc will most likely run those games just dont expect to play them at max settings 2142 especially.

Nitrus · 12-30-2006, 06:51 AM

I have 256mb Graphics with 1gb RAM on a 3.2Ghz processor.

And the maximum settings I can have is everything on medium. Its good enough for me.

Yours should work well on medium for everything.

He wont have lag, he has the same specs as me practically, and if he runs on medium he will be fine.

Lag, pfft. lols.

mecoatwar · 12-31-2006, 12:24 PM

I meant if he maxed everything out

You can run both seamlessly on medium. My specs are a bit higher (.5g more ram, better video card) and I still can't run on high, so don't bother. Be careful; even if everything is low depending on the system even 2x or 4x anti-aliasing can make the game EXTREMELY laggy. If everything is laggy but you have all settings on medium, turn off anti-aliasing.
