[fullinfusion]

I just won one of these in a contest... http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=698&prod_no=1982 ...maybe I will see how it performs.

Lucky bugger lol

Hey Rick, how do you get the fps in game like I seen in your screen shots?

Make sure console is enabled first...

Then start game and open console by hitting the Tilde (~) key - type "cg_drawfps 1" - hit Tab key - hit Enter key - close Tilde (~)

Another command is to follow the above procedure typing "com_maxfps 1000"

I have FRAPS as well, but don't use it unless I intend to make a lot of screenshots in-game.

Some more commands:

-Config Tweaks-
==========

seta cg_blood "0"

seta cg_brass "0"

seta cg_drawFPS "Simple" (shows fps, "Off" to disable)

seta cl_maxpackets "100"

seta cl_maxPing "80" (max ping when searching for servers)

seta cl_packetdup "2" (???)

seta com_maxfps "120" (setting this to your average max or desired max will help)

seta r_blur_allowed "0"

seta r_distortion "0"

seta r_dof_enable "0"

seta r_flame_allowed "0"

seta r_gfxopt_dynamic_foliage "0" (???)

seta r_gfxopt_water_simulation "0" (???)

seta r_glow_allowed "0"

seta r_motionblur_enable "0"

seta r_multiGpu "0" (or put "1" if you have two videocards, or a dual gpu on a single die)

seta r_multithreaded_device "1" (if you have a multi-core cpu)

seta r_waterSheetingFX_allowed "0"

seta r_zfeather "0" (???)

Two 6870's here and have no problem maxing it. Probably could do it on just one too!

Most likely...

I have a AMD Athlon x2 5600+ (running 2.6Ghz) with 4GB of OCZ DDR2 probably 667Mhz, with a Radeon 3870 512Mb. This game is unplayable

So I am considering upgrading to this:

Coolermaster HAF X Case (£139.99) or Coolermaster Storm Scout (£69.99)

Arctic Power Pro 750W Modular 14cm Fan PSU - 4x PCI-E 8x SATA (£62.70)

Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H 890GX Socket AM3 HDMI DVI VGA Out 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard (£98.49)

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80GHz (Socket AM3) Processor - Retail (£130.54)

OCZ PC3-12800 4GB (2x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 240pin DIMM AMD Black Edition XTC Computer Dual Channel Memory Kit (AOD Ready) (£73.99)

Sapphire HD6870 1GB GDDR5 (£182.99)

Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache (£40.88)

May also get a 60GB OCZ Vertex 2E SSD...

What do you people think of this build? Is it cost effective?

Are any components bottlenecking others?

Will this max out COD Black Ops and other games such as AC:B when it comes out etc?

Thanks.

 

[fullinfusion]

Jesus Rick!

Thanks man.

Works like a charm

I have every thing to the max and running Tri liner

not a single slow down yet


Its the 1st Call of Duty game I got and love it

 

[NeilSmith]

I have this game running at 80~100 fps* on my stock 965be and stock eah 5850 with all settings maxed except for AA set at 4. More then likely could crank that, but meh. I'm still kicking myself I didnt wait another 2 months, 290 for a 5850 vs 400 for 2 6870s x.x -.<;;

*1680x1050 @ 120 hz refresh


I'd love to know what kind of setups the people constantly complaining about running issues have. Yes, OPS is a major resource hog. Nothing a decent PC with 8 gigs of ram can't handle.

 

[Deleted member 74752]

^ It's never really been a hardware issue...it's the game coding.

Got a link to your 120hz monitor Neil?

I guess they should have put their requirements higher :shadedshu

Viewsonic 22" VX2265wm
ViewSonic FuHzion X Series VX2265wm Black 22" 3ms ...

Not sure what that response is all about, but have at it.

A 1000:1 contrast ratio? Are you serious?

You better look around for something higher mate!

Im running a shitty SyncMaster 23" and its a 50000:1 ratio

Can you say Black is black?

I can

 

[NeilSmith]

Age old requirements joke. When what was really required was better programming, they ended up fostering off onto the consumer as a need for better hardware.

lol

Contrast ratio means absolutely nothing, there is no industry standard. So your company tacked on some zero's. Viewsonic's performance doesn't need the enlargement.

Can your monitor do full 3D color at 120hz?

Ahh...Bear with me, I'm kind of thick at times. I knew from the beginning that it was not hardware related due to my rig's specs and I had many of the problems everyone else had. It has gotten better but still needs work.

Here is a monitor I have been eyeing... http://www.a-power.com/product-19347 ...just not certain if 120hz would have much of an impact for me.

Unless your getting over 60 fps in games, having a monitor over 60hz is pointless from a gaming perspective.

I got my viewsonic because my eyesight is bothered by a low 60hz refresh w/o back lighting.

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Up to 235fps at times...using an older 2407WFP Dell atm.

Now thats a MONITOR!!! 10 000 000:1 ratio is what im talking about!

Thank you for the link, it's now forwarded to my wife for a x-mas prez suggestion

I just wish I knew someone that had it so I could pick their brains. That company is in Canada and they do not accept US credit cards. I have been unable to locate any US distributors. (It is an Acer btw)

Thanks for letting me know about MLAA setting, I have the 10.10e ccc and love it.

I just wasn't sure if it worked as it should in this game.

 

[Muhad]

[Delta6326]

Myth debunked -

Components tested:

Sempron 140 single core cpu
Saaphire 5870

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq69/rickss69/Sempron_settings.jpg

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq69/rickss69/Sempron_maxfps.jpg

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq69/rickss69/Sempron_win.jpg

Framerates as high as 137 were recorded and gameplay was adequate.

For a second I thought 'wow thats great' until I saw it was an unlocked Sempron 140 with the clocks cranked
