Hey all, I just purchased BC2 off steam, and even on the LOWEST setting it's almost unplayable with 10-15 FPS. MY PC specs are:
NOTE: I game at 1680x1050.
Core 2 quad q6700
GTS 250
4 GB Ram
Vista 64

try updating your drivers. because this is game very well playable on my 8800GTS 640MB.ShatilovOdd, Il update.
GTS250 isnt really a bottleneck and doesnt explain such low FPS. The term bottleneck is thrown around to much by people who really dont know what they are talking about.My guess is its your GTS 250, bottlenecking. Its a rehashed 9800gt. Try running dx9 and see what that does. Failing that reduce the screen res might help.

A GTS250 bottlenecking a Q6700? I don't think so, And yeah people do tend to use it a bit much...My guess is its your GTS 250, bottlenecking. Its a rehashed 9800gt.

I haven't played it but there are few things you could try.
Update Display Drivers. Update Direct X.
Turn off Shadows.
Turn off anti-aliasing.
Turn off V-Sync.
Play at 1440*900.
Your card should have been able to run it. May be there is some hardware issue. Either your card is not getting enough power or the RAM modules have some problem.
Edit: Vista 64-bit is known to have issues with many games. It may be the culprit.
If it is, running the game in compatibility mode might help. TC, when you installed, did you right-click and run the installer "as administrator"?Edit: Vista 64-bit is known to have issues with many games. It may be the culprit.

I will try running mem tes and also if it helps i'm using this PSU If you can, if the DRM lets you, try unplugging your internet and turn off AV and Firewall and reinstall the game. If you have to have a connection, decide on your own if it's worth the risk to go "naked" while installing. Make sure you completely uninstall and get rid of all temp files and registry entries from the old installation and do a reboot before installing again. I would not bother with memtest unless you have problems with other resource demanding apps as well. RAM problems are spectacular and not limited to one single game. :) Did you do the driver updates and DirectX updates shariq166 suggested? If not, do that before anything else. 90% of all graphics problems in games are from running too old drivers or too old DirectX.[QUOTE="ChiliDragon"][QUOTE="shariq166"]

The updated video drivers didn't help, however i will try updating DirectX and post back when that is done.[QUOTE="ChiliDragon"] If it is, running the game in compatibility mode might help.

incorrect information is incorrect. a gts250 is a renamed 9800gtx+ not a 8800gt. And if i can get better performance than him i highly doubt that his card is bottlenecking.My guess is its your GTS 250, bottlenecking. Its a rehashed 9800gt. Try running dx9 and see what that does. Failing that reduce the screen res might help.
