you will not be able to max it out, I have a GTX 260/ x4 B50 @ 3.8Ghz (1680x 1050) and even at medium settings the FPS will drop to 40ish when there is alot of action going on.

 

[importuner]

ohhh ok, well it seems that a new project is coming up for me, im building a new rig this summer,so yeahh, but 40fps arent that bad. i cant take it for now. thanks OVRCLKR !

 

[OvrClkr]

Well it is mainly when there is alot of debris flying everywhere, other than that it stays between 50 and 60FPS (v-sync enabled).

 

[sonic_boom]

I currently have

Q6600 @ 3.0ghz
8800gts
4gb ram
Win7 Pro 64bit

And BC2 barely every goes under 40fps for me on all high with HBAO turned off. Usually it's between 45-60fps.

So I don't think you'll have a problem.

what resolution are you playing at?

 

[sonic_boom]

1680x1050

 

[crazy359]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OvrClkr]

1680x1050

Yea you might get 40/50/60 frames but only if you have ALL settings on low

A Core2Quad @ 3Ghz cannot achieve what you posted above, this bench^^ was done with a i7 920 @ 3.7Ghz ...

 

[tarquinbiscuitbarrel]

i've got i5 and 4890, currently running BC2 1680x1050 with x1 AA and AF.

stable 50-60 fps, v-sync off. laggy but playable, it's not a 'twitch aim' game really. even in the intense battles it never drops below 40.

however, when i press tab to draw the scoreboard in multiplayer my framerate goes to 0-1 for a while.

so you think a Dual Core Intel Core 2 DUO E8600 @3.33GHZ can run it fine?

Yes it will run the game fine, but you can more frames by bumping up the clocks a notch

 

[importuner]

ohh ok thanks man anyways im building a Core I7 Rig this summer ima get it ready for Crysis 2. Most likely i will use DX11, what GPU do you recommend? and any other Ideas for it, like ram, motherboard, EX>

thanks

 

[JDV28]

OvrClkr, why do you have vsync enabled? why dont you tell us the fps you get with out it on. Mine is working great.

 

[number13]

crysis 2 will not be that demanding of a game, they needed to make it console compatable, mostly fighting in the city, grey buildings and sky

 

[OvrClkr]

OvrClkr, why do you have vsync enabled? why dont you tell us the fps you get with out it on. Mine is working great.

Because when you play with v-sync disabled you get distorted images/screen tearing

When you enable v-sync everything looks so much better, and the fact that a capped 60FPS (constant) is more than enough frames for flawless game-play.

The only time I turn it off is for a Vantage/06 run.

 

[JDV28]

Ah alright, Thank you.

how bout Q6600 quad core...3 gig ram and ati radeon 2600 HD pro 512???

The 2600Pro is your weakest link. Any plans on upgrading the GPU anytime soon?

 

[OvrClkr]

Not really. the 2600Pro is on the low end, very low end at this point in time, specially for a GPU hungry game like BC2.

I play at 1680x 1050 with an overclocked quad at 3.8Ghz / GTX 260 overclocked 15% and still get lag every now n then with medium settings / x2AA / x2AF .. For the most part it stays at 60FPS capped but when all hell breaks loose and im in the middle of some major firepower/massive explosions it can go down to 40ish..

So a stock Q6600 paired with a 2600Pro is actually going to cough regardless of the settings.
