Hi, Im playing this game on my Core 2 Duo 3.16Ghz, 5gb Ram, nvidia 9800gtx, Windows 7 Ultimate.
 
I've set all video settings to low but its too choppy. Im using the latest drivers also. I guess my card is abit on the lower end. The min. system requires an nvidia 7800. Recommended is gtx 260.
 
Anyone else facing this issue on their 9800gtx ? Or any suggestions ?

That sounds rough. I have a suggestion for the devs of BC2: Dont make your games so damn  hard to run!

yea i agree its too rough. I can play COD:MW2 will all settings high & it looks amazing. But BC2 makes my system look 'old'. I think ill have to pass on this game. Luckily I didnt purchase this game.

I've noticed the game not closing completely when I try to quit it, making the next time I play it really really choppy. Open your Task Manager and make sure no copies of BFBC2.exe are still running in the background.
 
I have two 9800 GXT+ in SLI and they can run the game maxed out, except for shadows and HASO.

  We are aware that some customers have reported fan speed issues with the latest 196.75 WHQL drivers on NVIDIA.com.

edit: never mind.  There is a warning to the left that I ignored.

well I am on the new one and having no speed issues. but maybe that is because I have a 7600 ;_; "

I'm running an AMD Athlon X2 5400 2.80 Ghz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP 32 Bit, NVIDIA 8800 GTS OC KO Edition at 1920x1080 with settings maxed. The only thing I changed was downgrading Shadows to the lowest option. I have not experienced lag through 20 hours of gameplay.

I'm running this on my GTX 280 rig (Core 2 Quad 3.2GHz, 8GB DDR2-6400 RAM, 1GB GTX 280, W7 Ultimate) and I still get some choppiness when running with DirectX10 and max settings with 2xAA (lowering the settings to medium doesn't seem to help much). Running in DX9 seems to smooth things out some but it still doesn't run as well as it should considering the visuals aren't particularly impressive by today's standards.

Try forcing the game into DX9 through the games' settings.ini, found in your "My Documents" BC2 folder. Worked well for myself.

get a new GPU?

People should take note that this game has a lot to do with the CPU too.
 
It seems to take Quads better than Duals.

I've got a C2D E8400, 9800gtx+ and 4gig ram and it runs perfectly in DX9. So i think your GPU is fine.

I've had no problems at all with the game's performance.  My specs : Core i5 750, 9600GT 512MB, 4GB RAM and BC2 is smooth.  I think Sodium's right as I can see the game utilsing all my cores when things get busy.

okk, i think ill try running it in DX9. Btw, Win7 already comes with DX11,but my card is DX10. So when i run my games, are they using DX9,10, or 11 ?? kinda confused hia 8-)

Drivers people, drivers. Every issue I've heard with BFBC2 has been resolved by updating drivers so far. It seems all of you have Nvidia cards, so I would recommend the last stable driver which was 196.21. Remember to download and install the one for your corresponding OS and bit version.

WOW....that did the trick man!! Thanks so much. I now have enabled all settings to high and also enabled vsync & hbao. And everythings quite smooth!! THanks again.  @Geno : thx for the advice but i already have those drivers installed. i guess it was a DX issue. Thx to Chainblast again.  this was the line i changed in settings.ini :  DxVersion=9 "

somethings are just weird ! well just for fun, I changed the line 'DxVersion=9' to 'DxVersion=10'.  So i basically forced it into DX10. 
 
Well guess what??? Its working perfectly fine now ! And I have also turned the anisotrophic filtering to 16Qx - the highest setting !(couldnt do this on DX9) and its working fine...so basically all my settings are maxed out with DX10.
 
I see the difference cz on DX9 the gun models are really blurry, but in DX10, the gun models are more detailed & sharp. 
 
Im confused how this all happened but its working fine now & ive got no complaints for now :)

I also have a 9800GTX, used to have a 9800GX2, still, i'm glad if that works for you, it's going to work for me by changing the config.

"considering the visuals aren't particularly impressive by today's standards. "

5 gig of ram raises an eye brow..
 
To run that amount one would have to assume your running an odd number of mis-matched dimms, which is a really bad idea.  If its a 2x2+1 dimm situation pull the 1 gig, if what i've described is the case you wouldnt be running in dual channel mode which would effectively halve you memory bandwidth.

For serious, brah? The graphics are insanely good. I find them more appealing and impressive than even MW2. And I'm not even playing on DX10/highest settings. "
