BF2 doesnt like overclocking?

[Drake5]

Hey.

Is this true? I was told that BF2 will run better IF your GFX card ISNT overclocked.

I now have a 6800 16 pipes GFX card, i used to have a Radeon 9550 gfx card.

When i played BF2 with the 9550, it was so much smoother, and it was a poor gfx card!

Now i play with my 6800 and its jerky!

So is it true, BF2 doesnt like OCing?

I do have 2 gig ram.

I defaulted the overclock, played BF2 and its runs smooth (on low)

I cant understand why this is, computers are so wierd.

Heh, my card is staying clocked!

I just ran 3DMARK03 and get 10K points - Thats amazing for my rig!

My clock is : 390/821

But surely if it's causing problems in games it's not worth clocking it?

All my other games are running fine. Just BF2, and i dont see why its causing lag as there is more power comming from my card.

Could this be a bottlekneck?

Specs : Intel Celeron D 2.93Ghz - 2GIG RAM.

omg, battlefield 2 still being laggy on me. I reset my clock, ill try it again soon

If you've overclocked your PC to the point where it's unstable, BF2 won't like it and will keep crashing. Just back off the OC on your CPU a little and try it.

My CPU isnt overclocked.

I read it on a tweak guide that some games dont like a card thats overclocked.

Reversed my clock and im still lagging, my old 9550 played BF2 better than this.

I cant understand why this is

 

[Drake5]

Is it only BF2, or is this with other games too? What drivers are you using?

My other games are working fine, its just BF2.

Its not massive lag, its just jerky, and no way has it ever being has bad as it is.

Im thinking is it because my pipes are unlocked, am i bottle knecking or something?

Well, this is wierd. I closed my pipes to the default, and BF2 runs good again now.
