@1600x1200 settings high (except shadows) the patch reduced my FPS by half :( from 40 to 20 on a dedicated DF channel map server even with vsync and AA off.

S!

That contradicts his huge fps gains from forcing max clocks. I am having the same issue with my 5750 locking at 400MHz and I know for a fact it IS NOT operating past the 400MHz limit at any point while I play CoD.

blackdog and Orpheus are u both running MSI cards?
here is someone with the same problem (however old)

theyu talk about a hot fix...and the last one i can find is here (68/900 cards)

maybe you guys should try some older drivers

S!

[QUOTE=Hunden;277122]In GPU-Z, there is a checkbox that you tick: 'Continue refreshing this screen while GPU-Z is in the backround.'

Start the game in windowed mode and keep the GPU-Z screen open...that should tell you what clocks your card is running at, provided you tick the checkbox. In the game menus, the card powered down, but once the action starts the card should ramp up to full speed.

HD6xxx series seem largely unaffected. Its more prevalent on the HD5xxx and 4xxx series.

That said, while I get the clockspeed bug I don't get the 3 blue lines horizon bug that the HD6xxx series gets. It just goes to show how card architecture changes with each new series affecting how Clod runs and looks on our PCs.

I'm running 5770 and I don't have that problem. Runs pretty smooth for me and no I am not checking my fps because I dont want to know. All I know is it is smooth:grin:

Quite right. It is not dropping as we check...

[QUOTE=Rattlehead;277131]...and this is how we know. GPU-Z gives a steady 400mhz throughout all modes of CloD operation. This does not occur at any other time, or in any other game.


What drivers are you on? Could you check to see if your card is clocking properly so we can maybe start to identify what you've done that we've not? What's your full system spec? CCC settings? Maybe try helping instead of gloating?

S!

@ The Oddball - beat me to it, was just coming to post this myself. Did some googling. TO quote you:

If you have flash video acceleration enabled and running at the same time as running a game then it will be locked at 400Mhz as that is what the UVD uses and it cannot go any higher.


What's doing it is the BLOODY UBISOFT SPLASH SCREEN that appears when the game starts up - the vid plays and locks the card to UVD clock settings. I got around it by renaming the LOGO.wmv so it doesn't play:

THIS FIXES THE UNDERCLOCKING PROBLEM! Yahooo!!

This is an especially annoying problem since it's pointless to try tweaking out systems for CoD when the hardware isn't being properly utilized. Since release I've tried 11.3 and the current 11.4, all the tweaks seen here (aero off, etc), and my own ideas. None of the tweaks or patches have done anything for it. I play many other games, some in windowed mode, and have never had this problem.

One thing I do wonder is if the escape button bug could be related. When I hit escape during flight I'm taken to desktop before the menu. Same thing going back. Is everyone having this problem, just ati users, or is it common to everyone?

Edit: I've tried disabling hardware acceleration but no change, will try deleting this ubisoft thing and see if it works.

Edit2: Thanks a lot! Deleting the stupid Ubi logo seems to have worked. Wonder why disabling hardware acceleration didn't...
