Do BF2 Mods hate me?

Hmm, I can't fathom. I can run BF2 at 50+ FPS Constant on maxed, yet when it comes to PR, FH2.. I can barely run medium at 1028x7** (Can't remember the 700 number). Any ideas? It seems to be modified content, as vBF2 maps are perfect, I played a new vBF2 map on the 126 server (Alcatraz, the map's called) and it was dipping like crazy if I were to turn around sharply. My computer's s**t yes, but It's BF2 capable. Any ideas?

Lack of RAM is the biggest issue with PR, it's incredibly RAM hungry, mine uses up more than 2 GB. Start with your settings low, and increase the most important ones until you take a big hit

This may be an issue, I've got 2GB total, but i've only got 1.07GB Usable Physical memory. Gaahhh Damn. -.-

I think textures eat up a ton of RAM with this game. Having only 1GB available will mean it's swapping from the page file all the time, which is sloooowww unless you have a really fast HDD/CPU. Lower your textures and see what happens. Also post your specs

Specs -

E6300 @ 1.86 GHZ
MSI-7301 CUBA Mobo
2gb Corsair DDR2 Memory @ 333MHz
Radeon X1650 256Mb (I can only support PCI 1.0, so no backwards compatability for upgrades with this Mobo) OC'ed a few 100Mhz
320GB SATA Internal

But, What IS it with Mod's that require so much!? I understand PR being a Bit more greedy with larger maps, effects and more scenery and so on, But from running a slideshow on Gaza with 64 players, to having higher settings on Karkand with 126 players at constant 30+ minimum.. it's strange.

Your right voodoo, you do need a new rig! I'll try and have a snout around for you mate £300 budget in the Uk right?

Yes Sir! my wishlist totals to nearly £700.. I think that's a few hundred out of my birthday present range

I'm at a loss.. How can I run BF3, Skyrim and ARMA II/III Well on high on £300!? :'(

Nice Avatar!

Just robbed it, was fairly happy!

I doubt I'll be on PR much, It's just untolerable to play at 20~ FPS then slideshow to turn around.. It's killing me with no teamwork and n00bz in vBF2 :'(
