Battlefield 2 hits your onboard GPU's memory hard.
In some cases, the game uses over 256mb of memory.
Here are benchmarks going from a 128MB AGP Aperture to 256MB AGP Aperture within the BIOS:
128 AGP
Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
60000, 25, 97, 73.783
256 AGP
Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
60000, 39, 97, 76.417
(Max quality @ 1280x1024)
Gamers may want to change their AGP aperture size from within their BIOS!

The average isn't nearly as important as the min. The min was raised from 25 fps to 39 fps. Looks like a pretty good tweak to me (although I'm surprised it changed that much on the min). |

755mb of GFX-memory? Aren't you mistaking overall ram usage with gfx-ram usage? |

"Battlefield 2 hits your onboard GPU's memory hard. In some cases, the game uses over 256mb of memory." He only says 256mb of memory... I see he also is suggesting to up the AGP Appature but just this part "the game uses over 256mb of memory." sounds to me like he is saying system memory. Of which mine now uses 755mb at last check. Exactly where would he be checking how much memory BF2 would be using for just the GFX? Cuz to my knowledge the majority of V-cards that can play this game only use between 128 to 256 MB of mem. AGP App size has never displayed any real importance or difference to me. & that is with testing different sizes. |

wow, you have much less graphical knowledge than I at first thought. |
