Interesting GPU/CPU Usage

The HT cores are just parked with CoD whereas the real, physical cores are active with CoD, but cpu power is not the issue with this game.

An i7 or fast i5 is more than enough. Heck, even when I underclock my cpu to 2.8 Ghz it still runs pretty good.

It's just the buggy 3d mode (full, pseudo..) and gpu clock speed that worries me. Sometimes the game starts and my vid card stays at 157 Mhz no matter what. I shut it down and change to pseudo, and all of a sudden the vid card is now at 850 Mhz. Next time, nothing has changed in between, it's back at 400 Mhz and sometimes even back to 157 Mhz.

This is really weird game behavior which is a bit unexpected.
