I've had this problem since I 1st bought BF2 and i've never found a solution for it. Now this may be an outright hardware issue but I really dont know.
My Specs-
X800XL 256MB
1GB DDR400
AMD 64 3000+
All medium 1024x768
My FPS is perfect as long as theres no combat around. The second any kind of combat breaks out is the time that my FPS takes a nosedive, and im talking serious nosedive....from 60 to 29-30FPS. Even if its a simple 4 man skirmish my FPS wants to die for no apparent reason. 64 man servers are a no no for me, and even 32 man servers kill my FPS when the combat is heavily concentrated.
Now an x800XL at the time BF2 released was considered to be one of the high end cards ATI had. Along with the x850 and x800XT. So I cant understand why my FPS is hurting in taxing situations. The FPS really hurts on maps like Mashtuur City. Especially around the middle mosque flag, any kind of combat there and my FPS gets destroyed.
I searched for spyware and viruses and nothing was found. I have all drivers and my HDD is defragged on a weekly basis. My specs are more than edequate for at least medium settings and even on all low, my FPS hurts during combat.
But like I said if I join a completely empty server with MAX settings and walk or fly around, my FPS is perfectly fine, but it seems like the "players" in general destroy my performance.
