If you want AA/AF at 1600x1200 or higher resolutions, only the 6800U SLI or 7800GTX setups are even remotely able to handle the strain.

The benefit of SLI over a single card ranges from over 100% on the 6800U to 59% for the 7800GTX. As with other games, the 6800 series struggles with the high resolution, running less than half as fast compared to 1600x1200.

ATI does very well here, surpassing the 6800U by a decent margin and coming within striking distance of the SLI setup at 2048x1536. In fact, BF2 actually has a huge memory footprint and could even take advantage of more than 1 GB of RAM! That said, frame rates varied quite a bit between the configurations, and once again a single 7800GTX beats the 6800U SLI setup - it's a tie at 1600x1200, but the 7800 holds a 42% lead at 2048x1536.

With the added graphical effects, Battlefield 2 is quite a bit more demanding of systems than its predecessor. The demo was played back using EA's demo.cmd file, but we used FRAPS to determine the framerate as the timedemo feature incorrectly incorporates frames from the loading screen (which generally runs at >400 fps on the cards we tested). For this game, we recorded our own timedemo using the freely availabe demo versino of the game.
