A long time ago, trying to play a Battlefield 1942 star wars mod with my Radeon 9700pro would crash my computer after ~10 minutes. Base game was fine. EoD was fine. Everything else was fine. Except this mod. No amount of tweaking helped. Later, upgrading to a 9800pro, problems disappeared. I didn't want it to be like that but it did.


I had a 9800 pro and I could not crack like 8 fps in battlefield 1942. Support on either end shrugged.


Strange, I had a 9700 Pro and played BF1942 more hours than any other game in my life. Big 1600x1200 CRT and it held an okay frame rate.
