Anyone try pLaying Battlefield BAd Comapny 2 on an ITX yet?

I haven't tried yet, but I 'm hoping to soon!

I haven't even gotten Bad Company yet...I can't play many games anymore! Oh my...I feel it would do fine if a 5850 is ok to use with it.

I've played the game on a 17" monitor.

Core i7 860 w/ H50 (stock clock)
DFI P55-T36
2x2GB OCZ Plats DDR3 1600 (stock clock)
120GB OCZ Vertex Turbo
MSI HD 5770 1GB (stock clock)
SG-05 w/ stock PSU
Win 7 Ultimate Retail

Max settings at 1440x900 are playable at around 40-50ish fps normally. Sometimes game play might stutter briefly but I think it had more to do with the programming of the game itself than the system. SSD chops loading times into fractions. Performance doesn't seem to decrease until I underclocked my i7-860 @ around 1.8ghz --> GPU intensive.

Shifting game play from 1440x900 to 1024x768 res allows seamless game play at max specs. Again, frame rate might drop sharply sometimes but my observations tell me that it's a software-side issue. Also want to add that no power or heat failures have ever happened with this computer despite the 300w power supply. I've kept everything at stock settings but frame rates should increase a few digits with an overclocked GPU.

In case you were wondering, Modern Warfare 2 plays flawlessly at max spec @ 1440x900 for my system.

That's awesome. Might have to make a purchase

Yeah i've completed it on mine. Seems to run quite decently except when there's a lot of smoke on the screen - that sends the frame rate plummeting.

Will update when I get my HD5850, as it should run even better then!

Yeah these new games are killing the 5770 which is really a great card for almost all users. In fact, I got one and probably won't switch.

SG06
Zalman 8800NT
I5-750 @ 3.6ghz 1.1V
MSI 5870 Lightning - 1.0v 750/1200
DFI P55-t36
300w stock PSU
2x G.skill 7/7/7/24-1600 Ripjaws
and an SSD.

Max settings 40-60fps at highest settings 1080p.


It's doable alright. The MSI lightning 5870 fits like a charm too .
