Great Preformance from New Nvidia Drivers

I'm on the 280.26 set.

Same performance here and with some crashes in Firefox.

No discernable improvement in game with latest drivers, but strangely I get driver crashes after I close the game. Peculiar.

I'm sorry to those who don't believe me.....all I did was upgrade from the 280.26 32 bit drivers I had, to the new (non-beta) 285.62 32 bit drivers that came out several days ago, and went from 12 to 15 fps. to 0ver 55 fps......I had cleared out and removed all traces of any Nvidia drivers and applications from my computer and started over with the whole WHQL 285.62 32 bit driver system and thats all....I have no Idea what it did to my system, but it took off............

You edited your first post from 125FPS to 75FPS. If you go down a little bit MAYBE we can see that new drivers works nice in some perfromance bost in the 285.

Exaggeration aside, it's very likely more a matter of something being wrong with his old driver install than an actual driver improvement.

Sorry Guys, I didn't want to start a war here....lol....that wasn't my intention....I am not a computer techno-guru like some of you here and my only intention was to try to help others who have been struggling to get COD. to run effectively on a 32 bit system like mine.......yes, now that I have tested it in some populated areas and with numerous planes in the air(as many as 42).....I'm not getting the max'ed 60 fps. now, but it is staying anywhere from 36 to 52 fps. and it is a whole lot better than the 8-15 fps. I was getting before the most recent COD. update and with the 280.26 32 bit drivers that I was using before......after struggling for over six months to get any playiblity from the game that I felt I had wasted my money on, I did get a little overzealliuos and excited.....lol...........so if my posting here has helped anyone, that was my only intention....carry on...........

Perfectly understandable flightdok. No big deal in my book. There's a read me for the new drivers if anyone cares to look to see what actually has changed.

W/ 32 bit and clod, i wonder if anyone experimented with ram settings in bios. Things like single channel mode verses dual channel, channel interlacing on/off, running ganged verses unganged...etc. Just another shot in the dark. Maybe it would help with some systems and the stuttering.
