[SOLVED] CoD4 -- More FPS problems

Zenithic4k · 11-09-2007, 05:58 AM

So I picked up CoD4 the other day and after booting it up I was having horrible FPS. Its almost always choppy, except for when its on 800x600 (makes the graphics look like crap). Does anyone else have a 7900GS or a 7 series that thinks they know a good setup (in the CP) for the game?

I'm running on
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+
2gig ram
evga 7900GS
Windows xp media edition

I really don't see whats wrong i think maybe your drivers as i can run it a everything up but the dx 10 options and aa

Ive tried everything in the settings, turning them down--mid level, and all the way up. I just cant seem to get a smooth frame rate.

I play with the 7900 with everything on high, so i think you may have a heat problem. Make sure you clean all the dust out of your machine, update your drivers and DirectX. Dont be afraid to OC it too. I have mine on 620/800, which is fine. I play on 1400 x 900 resolution.

good luck

Just built the computer about 2 weeks ago, everything is clean and basically dust free. No build ups of any sort. I have an intake and exaust fans running, even an extra fan blowing on my card from below it. I'm thinking it could possibly be my PSU? I'm still awaiting to get my Earthwatts 500W PSU, I'm running on a 350. Is there a link where I can find out how to OC my video card? I have no idea how to do it and I don't want to mess anything up.

aha, definately your PSU. Even the earthwatts psu may be struggling. Dont oc until you get more power. let us know how you are getting when you get your new psu.

in terms of the oc, download ntune from nvidia here

its all on board. try the settings i use, 602 for clock and 800 for memory. test it and monitor temps. should be fine. try running 3dmark06 as well and check temps. mine works no problems, but make sure you power it up, it needs a power cable in addition to the power from the PCI E slot.

I dont think that his psu is doing bad thats a quallity model

robbiesla · 11-12-2007, 07:40 PM

any idea what amount of Amps you have on the 12v line of your psu?

Zenithic4k · 11-13-2007, 05:41 AM

I haven't got it in the mail yet. I would imagine it was my PSU, 500W should cover my system well. I don't plan on going SLI anytime soon.

So when I install the PSU I should see better preformance?

its a 350W man?? I would have thought that would be insufficient for a 7900. anyhoo

Yeah it was a case combo one so I know its low quality. I put in the Earthwatts the other day and its doing better, fps is back to normal.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 11-15-2007, 06:27 AM

**FreoHeaveho** · 11-15-2007, 07:07 AM
