Battlefield 1942 bad on ati cards?

[PuNkJaSo]

I just recently bought an ati9500 and whenever i play, i get really crappy fps and the game laggs a lot,(on singleplayer), does anyone have these problems or know how to fix them. With my old gforce2ti i got better fps. and more stability on this game.

i have a ATi radeon 9000 and its choppy for me in some parts, mostly when the level first starts than its fine, turn the graphics detail down

neg, it works fine at 1600X1200 4x AA 6x AF at 80-120 fps for my ATI 9800pro <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> It helps to have 1 gig of mem I think. Vid card is biggest part for games, especially online ones where your computer doens't actually have to compute the AI.<BR><BR>-Will.

It's definintly the RAM! When I first started with BF1942 my Dad and I both had 256MB of RAM. He had a Radeon 9000 and I have a Radeon 8500LE. We both experienced laggy game play. We both upgraded our RAM, he went to 512MB and I went to 1 GB. After that everything was good for both of us. No lag, I run 1152x864 res and full textures and effects. Hope this is helpful!

I agree. I just installed the Secret Weapons demo, and haven't had any problems with my 9700Pro running it.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I love driving those tanks!
