Then I must be a moron >.<
After reading through ~50 pages of the forum I still can't get over 20-25 fps anywhere (with the exception of an empty mission in the desert where I get right up to the limiter).
I've tried lowering all the settings one by one, and it never yielded any significant change, even when drastically reducing the resolution. I hate to be that idiot, but I'm at wits end here.
My rig is as follows:
AMD Phenom x4 9550 OC'd to 2.8Ghz, tested stable
Asus M4n82 Deluxe mobo
6GB DDR2 800 OC'd to 1066 stable
Asus GTX460 OC'd to 840/1680 core/shader 2100 mem 1050mV also stable
750watt psu
Win7prox64
Samsung 7200 RPM main drive
Running at 1680x1050, can run BFBC2 at ~60 fps at all high settings w/ same res
Worst part is my buddy who has a stock clocked intel q6600, 9800gt sli, 4gb mem, and the same main drive gets better frames than me >.<
edit:
figuring it's the cpu, but that q6600 is a 2.4. It does have a bigger cache though :/
