[SOLVED] Call of Duty 4- Choppy Performance- please help =(

Arnack · 11-23-2007, 07:34 PM

I recently purchased CoD4 for the PC. At first it was REALLY choppy, but I ended up fixing the settings to make it OK. But the problem is that I can play CoD4 easily in servers that don't have a lot of players (10-25 or so), but when I go into bigger servers, it starts to get really choppy. My ping stays around 70-130, so I think it's good.

Specs:
Nvidia GeForce 7500 LE
AMD Athlon 64 Processor
2.20 GHz, 1.00 GB RAM

Any ideas?

I didn't see an edit button, but I forgot to add: Singleplayer is fine, it's jsut Multiplayer that is choppy.

id say its the video card having to deal with way more players on the screen.

Arnack · 11-24-2007, 08:37 AM

So what should I do about that?

upgrade your video card

Arnack · 11-25-2007, 12:19 PM

Well single player works fine.. it's just maps with lots of people or maps with snow/dust/rain.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 11-25-2007, 01:07 PM

its a integrated and i would expect that would be it....

Arnack · 11-25-2007, 02:45 PM

So if you were to say updating my video card would definitely work, what would you suggest?

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 11-25-2007, 02:47 PM

um what motherboard do you have?

Arnack · 11-25-2007, 03:23 PM

My motherboard manufacturer did not put the motherboard ID or name on it...

**pharoah** · 11-25-2007, 06:44 PM

do you have a prebuilt machine like an hp,dell,etc etc?

Arnack · 11-25-2007, 08:02 PM

I made my own machine at the HP website.

**pharoah** · 11-25-2007, 08:22 PM

ok so its a prebuilt as in someone else "hp" built it.what model is that hp?

Arnack · 11-26-2007, 05:00 AM

HP Pavilion a1620e

Arnack · 11-26-2007, 05:14 PM

Okay, now I think it IS the graphics card, because in single player I changed it to the right resolution, and it's laggy now. What is a good, cheap graphics card you guys recommend?

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 11-26-2007, 05:40 PM

Whats the price range? You probably need a power supply upgrade to that normally goes along with a videocard upgrade.

i agree with owned.you need to set a budget,and get a power supply as well.i have confirmed on the hp website you do have a pci-express slot free for a video card.once you set a budget let us know we can help you pick the proper parts.
