Wow - I can finally play this game with good frame rates

[Drum_tastic]

Have owned the collector’s edition since day one but up to now this game has been a huge disappointment to me.
Well, things have just changed due to a new graphics card. My previous card was a HD4850 X2 Gb card and game was just all stutters and hiccups no matter what settings I tried, I just could not get acceptable performance and so I had played it for only a few hours in all that time.
I have now swapped to an HD7870 and man what a difference, getting nice smooth gameplay in most situations, still the odd pause but now I can actually get into this thing. Can even do the London sightseeing trip and it all flows pretty well, with most settings on high.
So I have to say I am really looking forward to the upcoming patch and finally getting my monies worth out of this game, let’s get exploring.
Tally Ho!

It always has been about the hardware...now it is the franken:-P

7870 is indeed a great GPU... quite expensive otugh, but should last for 2-3 years i guess.

i paly every thign maxed out at 1440x900, and get 60 fps pretty much all the time (VSYNC ON!!)

Please, turn on your VSYNC for every game, the other day i was playing BF3 without Vsync, and eventually the game crashed otu because the GPU was killing herself to give me 120+ fps. With Vsync on, the GPU was working steady at 50% without ever gettign over 40º

Most of the 'popular problems' with CoD can be solved with a good vid card! Welcome to the club! ;)

[Drum_tastic]

Well I couldn't disagree with that based on what I am seeing at the moment - cool!

Good to have a 'positive' thread.

And I'm going for a hardware upgrade in a few weeks.

Just out of interest Avro, what are you going for?

Should cut the mustard. Mostly on the video card? :wink:

I, too, am looking to upgrade. Although I'm focusing on the CPU side of things for now, looking to get a good Mobo and CPU, along with some DDR3 ram... It's all just so expensive though, I certainly can't afford any of these new GPUs :(
