COD4 Settings, 1920x1200 on 8800GT/9800GT

Can you recommend settings? I haven't been able to find any tweak guides.

edit: I think it's the AA. Turning that off helped. Can't even do 2xAA (50fps). Does that sound right for my card (OC in sig)?

Thanks.

You can try the stuff in here: http://cod4source.com/how-to-increase-your-fps-in-cod4. Most of it applies to multiplayer games only and general lag. Hope that helps.

sounds like it might be a little less than what you should get, but not much. try the new driver.

That does seem a bit low.

A rough comparison maybe, but a fairly recent AT article has the 8800GT pulling down 52fps at 1920x1200 4x AA. I'm not sure on settings but I believe they would run with High/max settings unless stated otherwise. The CPU used in the test is probably a bit faster but I don't think it could account for the difference. Unless the 9800GT is significantly slower than the 8800GT?

One thing you can try is run in SM2.0:

seta r_rendererPreference "Shader Model 2.0"

Though in your case I would not bother as AA is basically last in my book; I wouldn't sacrifice other things for it. But you could try it. The graphics still look great. I rocked it when I had my 7800GT and needed a little boost to stay smooth at 1680x1050.

I'm running 178.13 (latest whql).
On the contrary, according to that link, I'm getting just what I should be getting it looks like.

I've almost finished the game by now (single player is way short!), so I guess I'll just turn off shadows like in the link a few posts above, and finish it off. 4xAA didn't make a huge difference once I got used to it.

Great graphics, really fun game (although too short). I'll have to see how the multiplayer pans out.

Thanks~

Drop your resolution 2 notches. You won't notice after 5 minutes of playing, and you should be getting a rock solid 60-70FPS.

I ran COD4 using HD3870 (with E8400 in Windows XP) and I was able to hoover around 50-60fps at 1920x1200, all details, no AA.

would it be his processor since its not a normal conroe based. I know most say its hard to be cpu limited , but when my cpu is running 2.0 ghz compared to 3+ghz i feel that im in the red zone in cod a little more often in a big server. So maybe his lack of cache is the reason even though its clocked very high.
