ahum? You were saying? Bf2 doesn't even run on a Geforce 4 Ti series. It requires newer cards or cards since the ATI 8500 series.
As for the optimizing, if there is one game that needs good hardware it's bf2. There is so many problems with that game. Renegade does have it's crash issues but if you run it on low detail, that will prevent alot of crashing. It just doesn't look good and you don't see bullets and stuff, makeing the game harder for me imo. You can run Renegade on almost ANY Onboard card there is.. I'm not even talking of add-on card's PCI/AGP/PCI express because they will most likely all work. I started playing Renegade on a 8MB i752onboard intel chip.. and it would give me 10-30 fps with a celeron @1100.
As for the problem. Did he install the new mobo, and after that a fresh reinstall with all win updates. Or did he installed the mobo on the same os? Alot of other things can be the problem here.
More detailed info on the hardware plz. Especialy on Power supply the volt it gives trough output and which brand.. but I doub't this is the problem. I think it has more something to do with the driver/software combo. Since BF2 works fine?.
