Can i run bc2 on low on this pc

Just at like 20 fps

Amd120 2.20 GHZ

HD 4250 256 MB Mobility

2 gb ddr3

i don't think i will be able to but i thought i would ask.

I bought it off steam thinking my gaming pc would be working this week, but it turns out its going to be atleast another week or to, and i really want to play it.

Maybe, and even then not very smooth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYbAvQtKsL8

No chance IMO. I tried running BC2 on a laptop with AMD dual core 2.1Ghz cpu and and HD4200 on low and I got like 10 fps. I was running it on 800x600 and everything on low.

negative.. gpu and cpu are both insufficiant for the task at hand. sorry :S it would run all the older battlefields though if thats any consolation :S

Alright thanks, i can run bf2 on low. I guess if i want to play some battlefield i will have to play that or battlefield free to play. I wasn't sure how far i could drop the graphics down

i have to doubt that, i couldn't play it on my dual core with my intergeted pos graphics card at 800 by 600 at low.

Looking at the mimmium i may be able to play it at low

Im not sure, I somehow doubt it, It is a very well optimized game, make no mistake, but it is far more cpu intensive then I thought, If you would be able to run it, the best bet would be the sp part, since that seemed to require far less then the far more taxing MP part.

my advice tho would be to wait, BFBC2 will give you a really good first impression if you are sitting on just a mid range machine, but lower then that, and I think your first impression would be far more negative.

Yeah ^^ I was a bit astonished aswell, there are more players per server, but even then, My (admitedly very old C2D 3.0 Ghz) were under somewhere of 90% load constantly, when the battles were breaking out, Rush seemed to do the most.

That did surprise me. Whatis more odd is that my GPU (a GF260) never got over 50 degrees when playing, and itneverseems to dip below 30 (that I noticed, I do have EVGA precission running in the corner). Which was a very welcome surprise.

So either those last 8 players does alotagainst the cpu, or there is something else that makes it cpu intensive. It DOES look impressive tho, and a quite neat thing is that the last maps released (update 7 was it?) Has fairly big maps, nowhere near BF2, but they are bigger less crowded, and more tactical then the clutted smaller maps, they are a real joy to play.
