For Battlefield Bad Company 2, here are the requirements.

For me, I won't be able to run it smoothly at all. I'm on a Pentium D 3.0 ghz and a 7900GS. Those 2 components are really going to kill me, and there's no sign of upgrading for me anytime soon.

Those may be a little misleading.  I have a single Nvidia gtx 260 card (so I just meet the recommended specs), and I am able to run at 1920x1080 resolution with all the settings cranked up all the way and still get good fps.  I've heard most people say you need at least an 8000 series to run it though

I will upgrade.  Maybe in a year or two.

I've got a 9800GT (512MB) and BF BC2 runs ok at best. Although my processor isn't exactly killer. Xeon 3040 DC.  3GB DDR2 as well. Although after playing the game I can halfway understand why you would need such a beefy system, the environment physics remind me of Crysis and we all know how much of a monster it is in regards to recommended specs.

Well i have a AMD triple core 2.1 3gig ram and a overclock 9600 nvidia card, so it should run it okish i hope,will be getting the game 2morrow so i will find out soon how good or bad it does run it...

Ya you're probably right that the processor has a lot to do with performance (considering the physics), and I have an i7, so that may be partly why I can get away with running it at max settings.  And I agree, it favorably compares to Crysis in terms of physics as well as graphics and graphical effects.

I'll be fine... running an i5 with win7 and 8gb ram. 1gb on video aswell.

[*MAFIA* Hellraiser]

I'll be fine.  PS3 FTW!!!!!

[Renegade]

I'll be fine.  PS3 FTW!!!!!

HELL YEAH LOL

[Head Hunter]

I'll be fine.  PS3 FTW!!!!!

Same lol.

So it looks like I'll be out of this game for a while. My computer lags so much even when I put it at the absolute lowest settings the game has. At every save point in the game, the game freezes up for a couple of seconds and simple things like the zooming in and out with the scope has a 1 or 2 second lag. So until I build a new computer, looks like no BF BC2 for me.

Same here Scoob, I'm riding this computer out until it dies or something drastic happens and I have to upgrade.

  Or the FBI confiscates it for the porn you have from Ricardo!

I just got this game for the PC and it feels like it should be on the console instead. I was expecting bf2 with new graphics for the pc, but got bf2 for the console on the pc.
