Can't Get 250 fps in COD4

[crazyeyesreaper]

Proof of concept TPU review of the 460 1 gig out of box average of all games performance wise its only gtx 275-285 performance with DX11 added on now yes with overclocking that makes it a different story even at max overclock tho a 460 is only comparable to a stock gtx 470 and in that situation theres only 20% gain over a 285 at stock. I think my point is made. because tada CoD is DX9 and thus non of the new tech makes much of a difference this is why you dont see a huge performance difference /rant

Y wouldn't I get 250fps even if the cpu isn't the bottleneck

Because I don't think even with an i7 at 3.6ghz you'd get 250fps you'd then be limited by gpu or something else.

when I had the game installed - I was getting 250fps no problem. first time with 2x 4870s in crossfire then again on my 5850@1080x1920 with AA, AF and everything maxed. I think i was even hitting 280-290fps 90% of the time unless there was a shit load of smoke an explosions everywhere

Not to sound stupid, but open console (~ key next to the number 1) and type the following /com_maxfps 999 to see what u can get, find your average then type /com_maxfps (your average)

i get 150-200 with mine

wasn't that the old Q3 engine with those flaws?

yes, cod uses the quake 3 engine. it has a fancy new renderer, but it's still quake 3 at its core... pretty much all the old engine bugs are STILL present, a decade later.

the magic fps are:

125
250
333

at 500+ weird things start happening, like you stop making footsteps and your jump height becomes pathetically small.

2 x 4870's are waaay faster than a single gtx460. Regardless of GPU speed the gtx460 is the limiting factor when it comes to reaching 250.

Still not 250fps.

Not to Hijack this thread but, how much FPS do you think id get with the system listed on my profile?


Back on topic, There are many element that can affect the outcome of your FPS in CoD4, lag, what servers u play on, how many people in the server, the maps, what programs u have running.

250 man thats crazy

loads man, i7 + 5870 should have it at 175-200+ easy, others with similar systems talk of 250-300

Koooool

Still not 250fps.

arent u reading:S
ppl pull off 250fps wit gts250 on low gfx, so no way that gtx460 is the bottle neck

 

[brandonwh64]

I get from like 190-300fps but it goes up and down alot! here was a quick screenshot on the run

 

[Kovoet]

I have set mine at 250 using 5870 x crossfire but \i wouldn't want more and have dropped all my setting to minimun

Right and I already gave you advice increase your cpu speed. You've either overlooked it or ignored it either way I don't give a crap.

Lol why run it on minimum? :S

 

[mdsx1950]

Bahahaha. I was like WTF???!?! when i read the title.

But when a game has too many FPS it becomes too fast and unplayable. Games like Street Fighter IV run at 300FPS+ for me without V-Sync. And there is no point at all running it like that.

meh... it's a COD thing I think, everyone I know who like's to play COD like's it as fast as they can get it... they even adjust the sensitivity to very high....

@wakeenaushad

What OS are you using? If you can, try running cod4 under XP and you will see much higher frame rates. You may even hit that 250fps if you're lucky. Both Vista & 7 reduce your max fps significantly. I've tested this out on various hardware configurations and different games.

@wolf

Yup, you're not imagining the smoothness when the engine framerate is doing 120fps - it's got twice the temporal resolution of 60Hz so does feel better. Seen this myself. The best combination, is to have a 120Hz capable monitor and have the game vsync locked to it for a steady 120fps. Then you get super-high fps and no line tearing artifacts. That plays really well.

Of course, you need a CPU & GPU that can maintain that performance most of the time in that particular game. Although, dropping a few frames off 120Hz isn't all that noticeable.

Hello all,

Thought to dig up this thread when I found it on the google.
I have a similar problem, jumped from GTS450 to Ati5870 to get 250FPS on COD4 but to my astonishment they dropped to 125 Max with low settings.
What might be causing the problem? I am posting the pics of my GPUz and Heaven's benchmark for you guys to see if there is anything wrong either with the driver setup of my GPU or anything else. Specs can be seen on Heaven's benchmark result.

Profound regards

P.S: I have a Dell LCD which I run on 60Hz but i used to get 250 fps with GTS450 which is highly unlikely.

a biiiiiiiiiiiiiig +1, some will tell you it's unoticeable, well they're plain wrong, I CAN notice the difference, and its big.

wait so you used to get 250 FPS on a GTS450, and now that you've upgraded the video card the FPS has dropped?

run an app called driversweeper, and reinstall fresh WHQL drivers from AMD's website IMO.

 

[RadeonProVega]

Someone complain about not getting 250 fps lol

I played the demo of COD4 and this is what i get:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsbW4UVTRoY

All Max Out 1280x1024
Nvidia Drivers 265.90 WHQL
With Fraps = 40-50
Without Fraps = 90-200fps

Sometimes the game moves a little bit too fast.

My advice, download and install the 265.90's, they seem to be the best drivers ever

 

[seensoon]

Yes wolf, i used to get 250fps with GTS450 which is way behind from Ati5870. I tried to install the drivers 10.12, 10.11 and 10.10. None of them actually work. I can't even open the catalyst Manager. Downloaded the graphics driver from both Amd.com and Hisdigital.com. Used driver sweeper and windows uninstaller as well. When I install fresh drivers, they successfully get installed but later after rebooting, catalyst doesn't work. From where shall I download the drivers and which version would work?

Thanking in anticipation!

to clarify why he needs 250FPS is because he plays promod and u move better with 250FPS and u shoot faster, and u get better hit register oh and btw... i dont think its CPU based... i get 250FPS still (that means no matter what i do its a 250FPS still ALWAYS) that means for a promod player who gets 250FPS with a decent ping he can play A LOT better...

(no this is not a ATI fan boy or a loser who is lying over the internet) there is proof on the internet that shows u do bttr with 250FPS...

 

[Arrakis9]

have you looked at this thread yet ?

Solved the low-gpu usage on gtx470

sorry if its already posted.
