Texture filtering is the filtering bridge from a closeup field of view to distant viewing on a single plane. On low settings you notice the difference (blurring effect) about 4/5 of the way down a long field. Set on high TF smooths (filters) out that blur. But it is indeed one of the beasts that rob overall performance over visual quality.

Remember BF2 came out over eight years ago this is why overall high settings on newer machines run the game better than on low settings. So basically if you like the eye candy and have a robust newer PC why not run it on high. Your machine can probably afford the extra CPU cycles. On the other hand if your machine is older or less robust and burdened, Texture filtering would be one of the first settings to lower.

As a side note; when I first bought bf2 in 2005 I didn't notice a big difference from medium to high. But I did notice a great change from low to medium. So I always ran TF on medium until I bought a newer and more powerful machine.
