Call of Duty 4 (COD4) Performance Thread

I know its already posted in Games section, but because its about the FPS u get and also because more people come to this section , i psoted it here

E6600@3.2
4GB DDR2 800
8800GTX (I used stock settings, no OC )
500GB HDD
XP64 ( will test in VISTA 32 ) soon
1680x1050
Evertyhing maxed out

Well i mostly get min FPS was 43 (it was a very dense fight) and max FPS was 350 (which is in the mission u r on a helicopter and u are firing from it )
my normal FPS is between 80-130(it gets more too in some situation )

yea my rig runs 50 - 80 fps in multiplayer depending on the situation with 1680x1050 res with everyone on and AF half way up, but no AA (on my 20" LCD @ 1680x1050 I dont need it to much, but it would be nice). in SP I run everything the same, but run @ 1440x900 because it gets alot more choppy in certain outdoor missions. I suppose this is because I am stressing it abit more with the extra people I have to render being bots instead of other actual people. I love every aspect of th game.

Edit: I thought I would mention that this is in windows vista!

Best,

Good news.

I just picked up the game last night. I'll install in tonight if I have time and post my FPS's

Is there a built in benchmark?

What settings would you recommend for my machine?

Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66Ghz
3GB DDR2-667
Geforce 8600GT 256mb GDDR3
22" LCD running 1680x1050 in Vista
Vista 32bit

I'd like to play in widescreen. What rez and settings would you suggest?

Well to be honest, play on your normal resolution (1680x1050) - make sure you have it on 60hz or whatever your native refresh rate is and change the aspect ratio to 16:10 (all these settings are in the graphics menu in the game). This way if you play multiplayer, you wider field of vision is an advantage over most of the players.

In the texture settings though, you might have to put the textures down to Bilinear rather than the default auto as with your card, you'll suffer a bit on multiplayer with that resolution.

Finished it , awesome game , very nice , i never got board ,btw my min FPS was 43 i think, and also my normal FPS is between 80-130(it gets more too in some situation )

Very cool game!

I only played the first three missions.


So, how do you find out what FPS's you're getting?

If they have COD4 in stock that is.

I went to Circuit City to pick one up yesterday and they had none! I paid $49 at best buy right across the street. Best buy also carried a collectors addition with a manual. Also had some other features like an actual "walk through". $10.00 extra.

It could just be my Circuit City, but they seem to cater to the game consoles and carry very few PC games.

Hey 3Ball, just wondering which catalyst drivers you are using. I'm trying to get rid of bog downs and was thinking it might be the drivers.

I plan on paying $5 and 2 beers to the neighbour kid to mugg you on the way out of the store. $8 for Crysis and COD4.

How are you getting the game to show you fps ? Or are you using another program ?

1. Go into the console by pressing the tilde key "~"
2. Type "/cg_drawfps 1" without the quotes

To disable, open up the console again and type "/cg_drawfps 0"

I guess those sanctions aren't working. /apply more useless sanctions

Are those legal?

Yes they are legal, games are extremely cheap in iran

true, true

Interesting story pauldh. Let me throw mine into the mix. I had pre-ordered Crysis from Best buy mostly because of the rewardzone points. I had used a $5 reward zone coupon to purchase the pre-order. I stopped in at Best buy to pick up my copy around noon. No one seemed to have a clue what Crysis even was. After about 10 minutes of employees asking other employees, it was determined that the game had not arrived yet. They told me to come back after 2:00 which was after the truck would come. I came back around 5:00 eager to get my hands on the game. Again I was met with the same confusion. No one knew where the game was. After about 10 Minutes I was informed that the game had not arrived and that I would have to wait for the next truck to arrive which would be on Saturday. I said that was too long. I then called Game stop while in the store to confirm if they had any copies left. They did and I proceeded to ask for a refund of my pre-order so I could buy the game elsewhere. They agreeded and I recieved $5.30 back and now I have to wait for another $5 reward zone gift card to come in the mail before I can use it again.

Lesson learned: Never pre-order anything from Best Buy.

That sucks man.

Usually I pre-order games I really REALLY like, and this is one that was a contender. But really I wasn't sure about performance on the laptop so I waited. I pre-ordered, UT2K4, D3, HL2 and Oblivion as my last games. Crysis almost got added to that list (as did Halo3), but in the end I decided that there isn't a major "must have version of the game" unlike the previously "rare" DVD-editions. I expect these will all be DVd, and I don't need coins, backstory, etc.

I'll probably pick up this weekend if I'm not skiing at Sunshine

Since I don't have spanking new gear (want new boots, another pair of skiis and a new pair of bib pants) quite yet, I have lotsa disposable funds left for games, of course I'd prefer to go and buy games across the border in US funds rather than pay more in Canadian funds, but I won't be in the states for another month, and then I'll be looking at all my gear purchases including a new camera so games will go bye-bye not buy-buy for about 4-6 months.

In some parts of COD4 it needs more than 256mb of vram other wise it wouldn't get choppy with your card.

Just finished it yesterday. It is a great looking game and plays fine on lan across three machines of different vintages. This is now going to be my regular "ready to go" lan game whenever friends or family are over. It is still a great looking game on the old p4 6800gt machine at 1024x768. Try that with Crysis.
After seeing my 9yr old son blow through it in two days I played it on hard. It made the last two, time limited levels very hard. I can't imagine how anyone could finish epilogue on veteran. The time limit goes from something like 1:40 to 1:00 against harder enemies. Even on hard it took me like 5 or 6 tries.

I really didn't get into cod2 but despite being short this is easily the best game I've played this year. You have to love the variety of levels and play styles it throws at you. They did a great job of mixing things up so it doesn't feel like some games where each level is just more of the same.

I really can't wait to play the game. Doesn't sound like my rig is going to have any trouble at all.
