I have been playing BF2: PR for about 3 weeks now and I am still trying to get the best performance possible. After extensive computer maintenance, running Process Lasso, cleared caches, that sort of thing, and my computer is running better than ever. In order to get the highest FPS, I did the logical thing and set every graphics option to low @1366x768. My frame rate, no matter what map, cycled unstably between 10 and 70 FPS, usually staying on the low side. I even tried 1280x768, which did absolutely nothing.
I went on my merry way and continued to play, but I also created a new profile. While playing under my new name, I thought to myself "Damn, this game looks great even at low settings. Everything I did worked better than I thought." Apparently new profiles have default settings, and all my graphics were set back to maximum, with the exception of 2x AA instead of 4x.
So, PR now runs at a very stable frame rate of 30-50 FPS on High. Why does it run horribly at Low settings and awesomely, for my system, on High? It should be the other way around.
I am using:
Windows 7 64 Bit
Acer Aspire 5553g
AMD Turion II P540 Dual-Core Processor 2.4 GHz
4 GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
