Very happy for you Timberwolf.

One clue to your decent performance might be the relatively low resolution (no offence intended).

I still wonder if some people expect too much from their old PCs. Having said that, my old PC is "minimum spec" to a 'T' except the two 7800GT graphics cards. It wouldn't work in XP and DX9 - Render=D3D9_0 - (XP doesn't support DX10?) so out of curiosity I upgraded it to Windows7. It still won't run, probably because the 7800s don't support DX10 either. I set conf.ini to DX9 but no go.

I'm left wondering if it has to be DX10 or better (on DX10 equipment of course)

The Nivida 7800GT came out in August 11, 2005. Were coming up on 2012 I don't think a 7 year old video card would be usefull with any high end game ..computer issues, programming issues, window 7, etc. even with 2 of them. No offence. I don't think 1C even programmed them to work on Cliffs.
As for me i haven't tried to up my res due to the fact it looks great as it is and i want to address the flight control programming before i "tweak" my rez or add in my 5.1 sound or facetracker, Vent, Fraps for recording P.s. I had a 9800GT i ended up giving away to a friend that wanted to watch youtube without having lag issues to load the videos

To answer xcleartheskyx's initial question: Nope, you're not the only one. I'm also one of the lucky and happy folks, with my new rig now.

How many of you own a vidcard with more than 1GB?

S!

I am pushing my luck but for some unknown reason my game began to run smoothly at solid 60fps a couple of days ago. I am not sure what I did, but I think it was that I adjusted settings to my liking and then shut off the game and cleared cache. Even online I had 60fps and the sound did not die out even I had trees on(on LOW). But I bet after saying this out loud the game will resort to a crawl again

Me on my new rig (570GTX 1.38Gb). Runs beautifully.

My attempts to get my old rig working are just an attempt to find the level CoD will run on. I don't think a card with 256Mb RAM should prevent it starting up but it would be very poor at running the game graphics.

The reason of asking is because i noticed that systems with a graka with more than 1 Gb of Ram run much smoother for start. The best way of getting the game running better would thus be to drop crossfire and Sli an buy a new dx11 card with 2Gb (ok ok..1,3 Gb+ ) a Nvidia.....
