Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Games / September 2006Battlefield 2 poo performance
Do somebody know how to get better performance in Battlefield 2 v1.4 in Vista RC1? I got following Hardware AMD64 3500+ Nvidia Nforce4 SLI motherboard 4x512GB PC3200 400MHz Geforce 7900GTX 512MB PCI-E > Do somebody know how to get better performance in Battlefield 2 v1.4 in > Vista RC1?

I can't tell the difference between XP and Vista while playing with my X850XT PE.  SignaturePaul Smith, Yeovil, UK.

Never a ATI card in my computer. >> Do somebody know how to get better performance in Battlefield 2 v1.4 in >> Vista RC1?

I'm not sure about yours, but in Beta 2, I had to use the Nvidia Beta drivers to get BF2 to work. In RC1 the native drivers seems to do fine. Running a 6800GT card.

Having an ATI card doesn't seem to make much difference. I've got the X1900XTX and I'm seeing slower performance under Vista than under XP. I also have the 6800GT and see the same issues. I've been running a series of benchmarks on the different games and gaming benchmarks and so far, Vista is slower across the board. In one case 30% I also haven't seen any performance gains by running in XP 2 compat mode over regular Vista Mode. Here's a list of benchmarks I've ran so far with the X1900XTX, using the beta Vista drivers from ATI and Vista RC1. 3dMark06 XP - scored: 5061 - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=256235 Vista - scored: 4873 - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=509085 Vista XP2 mode - scored 4852 - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=509124 Half-life 2: Lost Coast XP - scored: 101.71 Vista - scored: 70.22 Aquamark XP - scored 81,999 Vista - scored 65,39 FEAR with patch 1.07. XP - scored: 141 Vista - scored: 94, with XP mode scored the same Under Battlefield 2, the performance seemed fine at first, but as I starting playing, I noticed alot of stuttering and drops from a normal steady 99-100 fps to 50 fps. I understand that this is all Beta software with unpolished Beta drivers. But so far, Vista slow for games. I was really thinking it was going to be super streamlined for video, but whatever the issue, it's less than desireable under vista. Guess I'll wait for the next round of driver releases. >> Do somebody know how to get better performance in Battlefield 2 v1.4 in >> Vista RC1?

I know on my test machines performance is much worse than XP with nVidia' drivers while ATI's I can't tell the difference. nVidia's drivers have been bad since the beginning, stuttering mouse pointer, to even screen corruption in the current builds, I've had to go back to XP drivers on my nVidia machines to make them useable even on the desktop.

I haven't had any success getting BF2 to run on any build of Vista with my hardware (6800GT/3.0GHz P4/2GB PC3200/WD Raptor 150) SignatureThank you > > Oh you Fanboys, you're so silly.

Try it, you'll lose Aero, but losing that is better than random BSODs. SignaturePaul Smith, Yeovil, UK.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > 4x512GB PC3200 400MHz > Geforce 7900GTX 512MB PCI-E Personally my performance on BF2 is so much better on Vista than on XP. I can literally get past all the rotating "best players.......best team.... " etc screens and the map has loaded AND verified the files! No more sitting around waiting waiting waiting.
