I have an undervolted stock 2.26 ghz processor in my 7801u, and I keep my graphics card at stock clocks/voltage. I have found that there are a few settings in your Documents/BFBC2/settings.ini file that make a much bigger difference than others.

primary changes:
staticobjects=low
shadows=low
dxversion=9
bloom=false
HSAO=false
renderaheadlimit=0
MSAA=0

secondary changes:
overgrowth=low
undergrowth=low

In my experience, these are what let you turn up the other settings the highest for the best visual experience/performance ratio. The low shadows are a bit ugly, but the performance hit there is immediately obvious. It's kind of silly that staticobjects would be such a killer, but it is. With these settings I can put everything else at medium/high settings and find it very playable at high resolutions in 32 person multiplayer. I am a bit frame rate obsessed , so I keep almost everything at medium or lower to ensure there is never the slightest hiccup in big action. There are a few bugs in the game that revolve around using DX9 (some mounted machine gun windows aren't see through, antialiasing doesn't work, and the flashing red light when the bomb is planted in Rush mode really kills performance), but you get a pretty big chunk of frames at almost no loss in visual quality. Some things also vary with your resolution: turning up your shadow or texture detail impacts your performance more if you're running in 1920x1200 as opposed to 1400x1050, but the native resolution of 1920x1200 is going to have visual quality advantages even beyond its higher resolution, so you have to choose where to make your sacrifices.

I was disappointed to see two of my friends' Macbook Pros (running the same Win7-64 that I am) with a 2.6ish Ghz processor and a slower graphics card (9600M GT) dramatically outperforming my 7801 in a side-by-side comparison while I lanned with them yesterday. I honestly have to believe that the CPU is the choke point on the performance of this game no matter what the CPU/GPU usage meters are telling people. This machine was getting smoked by a weaker graphics card backed by a 2.6ghz chip, while I can blow them away in performance in something like L4D2.

Still, you can get it running pretty awesome and looking great. If you have an upgraded CPU you can really crank the hell out if it.

 

When I play the game regardless the detail setting I get frame drops similar to older posts (6fps or so). I monitor with CPUID HWmonitor and i get strange readings:

CPU and GPU are great concerning temp but
TZS0 reading is boiling at 98 C while in game with heavy action. When this temp is reached i get the low fps (maybe downclock)

The thing is that when i play EVE online there is no problem with all maxed out and lots of action
What is the TZS0 reading?
thnx
