updated my DX driver... fixed some graphical errors but I can still see through the mountains which = not good. I guess the minimum requirements = bs as my processor is above max requirements and my video card "should" be in the middle somewhere... what total BS

EA SUCKS!!!!

Epic Games FTW!!!! Atleast when they say minimum requirements it means that they are the real requirements not the 7800GTX or better.

Sounds like your computer is having some issues with the demo actually. I have to say I think your guess that its a requirement issue is off. It sounds like more driver issues more than anything.

The reason I say that is two-fold, one the seeing through mountains and graphical errors is indicative of driver issues. And two, my friend has a 6800 (GTX iirc) and he can run it at medium 800x600. Its not the best settings in the world but its playable.

 No EA typically screws up minimum requirements quite a bit. BF2 was supposed to be ATI 8500 and up, when launched it turned out to be 9600+ major difference. 

But your probably right. It is probably a driver error mostly. I know from reviews and talking with the guys on bit-tech my 8400GS is stronger then a 2400HD (aka 1900) so I should be good. I just need this PC to last me till the Spring whenI build my new desktop (Intel QX9650, G98, TriSLI, USB 3.0)
