Battlefield 2 - EA

The award-winning Battlefield franchise invades the high-tech frontlines of modern warfare in the new sequel, Battlefield 2. The game brings the intensity and excitement of Battlefield 1942 into the modern era with enhanced team play and the latest, most technologically advanced vehicles and weapons systems available to man.

Image Quality settings:

• 4x Anti Aliasing
• 16x anisotropic filtering

This game is slowly getting outdated and CPU limits are getting visible on faster cards (CPU can't provide data fast enough so the GPU idles and has to wait on the CPU to provide data to the graphics card driver). Example, if you look at the faster three cards in the chart above and focus on 1024x768 / 1280x1024 the cards all perform roughly equal; that's CPU limitation.

But so many of you including yours truly still adore the game. I just love what this game can do in terms of gameplay and image quality. We use FRAPS to measure the performance and by use of the game command prompt remove a nasty framerate cap.

Again we are forcing the image quality towards high in combo with 4xAA and 16xAF here @ 2560x1600 where we still spot a ~70 FPS framerate on average with the reference 9600 GT. Let's see how well the board partners-a re managing:
