September 30, 200520 yr I did that and it runs better but the FPS is the same sorta maybe a little bit higher. Thanks. I just tried that too. There were 3 files in that folder which I deleted and left in recycle bin. Entering single play server showed redoing video settings. But when I got in and move around a bit, the screen went mostly black. So I closed game, went to file manager. That folder which had originally had 3 somewhat identical files with different dates/times that now are in recycle bin, had a new file of current time/date. I deleted that. Went to recycle bin and restored only the most recent of original 3 files. Went back in same single map and spot. Used console "renderer.drawfps 1". And was surprised to see same higher fps which we had with the overclocking of vid gpu and mobo cpu. Surprised because vid card and cpu are back to normal default settings because "glitchs" had started to happen with various things from overclocking. Bottom line is, with no overclocking, deleting all but latest file from that folder, we have 15% more fps just like the overclocking got us. We feel more relaxed without overclocking. So thanks to persons responsible for the info leading to this test and conclusion. :peace:
September 30, 200520 yr Further on the tweeking for bf2 ... After concluding from week long trial as already posted, I have further conclusion on tweeks... TigerHawk and I been palying for the last many hrs but with a differance. I left my page file as tweek file suggested 2mb max and min size but had put hers back to windows control. She has had no probs last few hrs but I have had 2 far apart time wise bf2 in game video probs. I never had any before tryign these tweeks, just lag if server ping and players ping was too much. So I am concluding it is not better to set virtual memory swap file of windows to custom settings. I am putting it back to winxp control now. Furthermore, when we were using win98se up to this summer, we learned that some games, specifically RA2, do not work well if at all if windows does not have full management of swap page file for virtual memory. Hope this all saves someone the headaches and hair-pulling loss. :peace:
October 1, 200520 yr Ahhhh yes much better now after some tweaking. I saved as greyscale image by mistake that is why it is not color. /monthly_06_2011/post-582-130810176523_thumb.jpg
