re: An Intel I7 4790K with an NVidia 1070. And would upgrading to a 4070 be worthwhile?

Interesting... At 720x480 the frame rate was generally only a little higher, still averaging around say 60-70fps... BUT it did strangely feel more responsive and smoother!? Not sure if that's simply down to be it being blurry

Obviously the GPU was far less used than the 90+% of 1440p, I recon down at 30% or so.

If upgrading from a 1070 to a 4070 could give me better quality visuals (rather than min), at 75fps, and have that "smooth" feel, then I'd be happy. The alternative is to do what a friend has done, and go PS5 (for less than the price of a 4070)

Your entire rig is ready for retirement tbh. I do find myself playing games more and more on the big TV and the Xbox these days. The Series X plays supported games at 120hz no problem on a 1440p monitor.

What's interesting is how when playing the GPU is at nigh on 100%, and the CPU is not.

You'd think upgrading to a 4070 (from my 1070) would at least add a good lump of smoothness to the outcome, and allow me to ramp up graphical options while sitting at my VSYNC of 75fps.

Yeah looks like it

I just hope when its fully released next week that the zombies is good

I think this will be the first time I've not bought a Modern warfare game on or before release day. I think I'll wait a few weeks for the usual 30% off this time.

you should have done it on the last few, this one actually looks and plays quite nicely.

MW2019 was brilliant, MW2 was still better than Black ops and Vanguard (I didn't buy them though)

2019 was great - and Black Ops Cold War was also a lot of fun.

Vanguard was awful and MW2 has been arguably the worst COD multiplayer game I've ever played.

Even worse than Vanguard?
I didn't get much of a chance to play MW3 beta. I think I managed one game and even then I was pretty boozy so I don't even recall what map I played.

They were both pretty terrible. I played more MW2 than Vanguard as I think I was 'forcing' myself to enjoy it but it really was a terrible multiplayer COD game.

Doesn't VSYNC cause very high input lag?

Call of Duty HQ is one of the messiest and most stupid things they've decided to do in a long time.

Why can't I just install MW3 as a completely new game? Why am I having to install the base MW2 game to then get to MW3 - to then separately install campaign packs??

stooeh · 2 Nov 2023 at 17:21

Probably because it's tecnically an addon for the old game. Perhaps they have done it this way to avoid some of the integration mess that happened when Cold War released?

Likely because the base MW2 game is the base MW3 game, so it saves space for people that install both.

Nope im playing on veteran got to be worst AI I have seen what have they programmed the AI is terrible compared to Cod of past dosnt even feel like veteran sometimes.

On a positive I love all the Warzone kind of stuff added to singleplayer so crates of loot, armour, etc and the missions you can do them how you want to a point which is good.

Yeah i am playing on veteran as well and have noticed how the AI seem extremely dumb as i was just ploughing through them where as MW2 campaign was almost a 1 shot kill from ai on veteran and they were nearly always on point with their shots ... I think the game does look very nice though and story was heating up quickly so was eager to push on as was left on a bit of a cliff-hanger but seems i have to tune in next week fore mission 2 :cry:

let us know if that helps , few people on the COD fb group are reporting the same thing so seems pretty wide spread and probably requires an update to sort it for all :rolleyes:

Jay-G25 · 2 Nov 2023 at 20:12

Here's a new one , progress has been rest to lv1 on MW2 and no longer have access to MW3 as it thinks i no longer own it :cry:

thebastiche · 2 Nov 2023 at 20:55

I have preordered MW3 on Steam and have it installed and updated. Yet when I launch it and select the campaign early access
it's showing me options to purchase a game I already own. How do I start the MW3 campaign?
