You should be able to play CoD with that system. I started with a 2.4 dual core and a 9600gt card and 6gb ram and could get it running with some minor problems (like stuttering when down low over land) but I had to turn the settings down to med---low. Go into your video settings and turn off grass, shadows, V/sync (unless you're getting tearing problems), epilepsy filter and ssao. The video card you have is probably the weak point so don't expect to get high frame rates. As Tenn has said an up grade with that will give you better frame rates but not necessarily smoother play as there is still some stuttering that a lot of us are having (mainly minor) The new graphics engine, when it is finally ready for release, we hope will improve things so don't go out and spend heaps of dollars on a new card until you see how things are running after that. Unless you can get about 30fps+ when in game you will probably find a stuttery mess. The developers have said they expect improvements with frame rates will in crease by 50%+ with the new patch, so all of us are waiting in hope of this happening. In the mean time enjoy what you can get at the moment, this is going to be a great sim finally. See my sig below to see what I have now, it isn't too dis-similar to yours except I'm running Sli with two cards that are considered at the bottom end for performance. I'm getting good fps over land (40--60) and 80+ over water. The micro stuttering that I'm getting disappears (or appears to) when up high. A lot of players that go online to play at a server are having some CTD's (crash to desktop) which is spoiling their online experience, they are hoping the new graphics will fix that. Does your M/b support crossfire/Sli?? if so another card of the same that you have now will get you better performance. Your 4890 will out perform my Gts450 as single cards so get into the setup screens and optimise for your best performance.
