Battlefield Bad Company 2
Battlefield Bad Company 2 is benched in Microsoft Windows using the Steam version of the game.
Benchmark
We benchmark the intro sequence of the single player game (boat sequence in WW2) as it is similar demanding as an average multiplayer game and easy to benchmark. We use Fraps and start a new single player game. We start recording the sequence as soon as the text disappears and the image is fully blended in (the beginning text is rendered with a too high framerate). The sequence is stopped as soon as the player can take control (at the beach) and the average framerate from fraps is taken.
Settings
We dont use the "Overal Quality" Presets, but change it manually (set to "Advanced"). Level of Detail, Texture Quality, Shadow Quality and Effects Quality are all set to the same level. VSYNC is always off. Before starting to record the sequence recheck the settings, as sometimes the game alters them after starting the single player.
| Setting Class | Resolution | (Level of Detail, Texture-, Shadow-, Effects Quality), Anti Aliasing, Anisotrope Filter, HBAO |
| low | 1024x768 | Low, 1x AA, 1x AF, HBAO off |
| med | 1366x768 | Medium, 1x AA, 1x AF, HBAO off |
| high | 1366x768 | High, 1x AA, 4x AF, HBAO on |
| ultra | 1920x1080 | High, 4x AA, 8x AF, HBAO on |

| 5 | stutters - The game probably won't run fluently in this settings with this graphics card as at least one average framerate lies below the limit of 25fps |
| may stutter - Interpolated information. A slower graphics card was not able to run the game fluently and there are no benchmarks for this card. Therefore, this one may probably also not run. | |
| 30 | fluent - The game should run fluently as all known benchmarks are above the limit of 25fps |
| 40 | fluent - The game should run fluently as all known benchmarks are above the limit of 35fps |
| may run fluently - A slower graphics card achieved playable framerates and there are no benchmarks for this card. Therefore, this faster card may be able to run the game fluently. | |
| 123 | unsure - Either the minimal achieved framerate was below the border, but still the average was above, or a slower card achieved playable framerates but this one not. |
| unsure - A slower card was flagged as unsure and there are no benchmarks for this card. | |
| The value in the fields displays the average framerate of all values in the database. Move you mouse over the value to see the single results. | |
