December 31, 200718 yr Hi, I recently got a new computer loaded with a geforce 8400GS 256MB GPU and was wondering if it was good enuoght to run battlefield 2 at a good graphics value, I currently run command and conquer 3 with all settings at high or very high at the resolution around 1000x800 at a good framerate. I think that it will run BF2 quite well as it is an old game but just want to make sure, another game I plan to get is Counterstrike: source. btw my other specs are: Intel E4500 2.2ghz dc processor, 2gb ddr2 ram, vista home premium.
December 31, 200718 yr 8400gs is a terrible card for gaming, its about the same as a GF4 ti4400/ GF5 FX5700/ GF6 6600/ GF7 7300 gs.
December 31, 200718 yr Author im not much of a gamer and i know it wont handle modern games at high settings but will it run bf2?
December 31, 200718 yr I'm no computer expert but try giving this a try: Can you run it? Just find the game on the list, and check the recommended settings.
December 31, 200718 yr 8400gs is a terrible card for gaming, its about the same as a GF4 ti4400/ GF5 FX5700/ GF6 6600/ GF7 7300 gs. What? None of those cards have the same speed or capabilities as the other. The 8400GS is faster than the 7300GS, then guess what, the other cards are even slower. I would say it would play BF2 on medium settings or higher because the game is fairly old now.
December 31, 200718 yr It should be just fine. I mean, I ran BF2 on a 6600GT... you will be fine with an 8400GS.
December 31, 200718 yr My 8600 GT runs a Half-Life 2 based mod at 290 fps (Max) x 1024 x 768, but then this is more for gaming, so I don't really know.
December 31, 200718 yr Author hmm, is battlefield 2 similar to command and conquer 3 in sys requirements or is it much lower cause i can run cc3 at at around 1000x800 all settings to high/very high
January 1, 200818 yr It will run Battlefield 2 fine with settings Medium-High. It is quite old now and an 8400 should be able to handle the game with ease. [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
January 1, 200818 yr hmm, is battlefield 2 similar to command and conquer 3 in sys requirements or is it much lower cause i can run cc3 at at around 1000x800 all settings to high/very high No, not really. CC3 is an RTS where you have many units and it can be very memory/processor consuming; the graphics aren't such a big problem. FPS shooters use all three of them and the newest ones need ALOT of it. But then again, I'm no computer expert and I have no idea when these games came out. My guess is that if you can run CC3 you can probably run BF2.
January 12, 200818 yr Author yay, after trying out the demo, all settings at high at around 1000x800, i get a framerate of around 60 constantly
