    I had BF2 running at 1024x768 because that's all that was listed in the settings, it was maxed out, everything high and 8x antialiasing. I got around 60-80fps with it. I changed my resolution to my desktops with this command for the BF2 shortcut on my desktop

    Code: 
    "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 800
    I get a solid 100fps in almost every map now. I asked my friend about this because the same thing happened with Crysis, he said it's because my laptop is widescreen and it performs better at native res than a res that's shrunk and has to blow up onto the screen full.

    Sounds like a CPU bottleneck @ 1024x768.. ;)
