3D Performance with Battlefield 2 Demo

Whenever a new game comes out there are always concerns of bugs and compatibility issues with certain hardware, Battlefield 2 appears to be no exception. Already there are numerous reports of problems with the multiplayer browser, which can lock up and performs sluggishly. Considering BF2’s emphasis on multi-player, this is an issue that EA/DICE should definitely look into for the game’s retail release next week. Some ATI users have also reported problems with BF2, but we didn’t encounter any issues during our testing with CATALYST 5.6 other than a few flashing textures at 2048×1536 with the X850 XT Platinum Edition, NVIDIA users are encouraged in the demo to use beta drivers, ForceWare 77.30, these are actually newer than the beta drivers NVIDIA provides on nZone!

They are comparing the two top offerings from both ATI and NVIDIA. Worth a read if you are looking to upgrade for this game, like so many are. Check it out at Firing Squad.
