I have my 4890 oced to 1000 core and 1200 mem now and my e8400 is oced to 3.5. i have cod 5 maxed out and at certain points through the game fps dip into the 50s is that normal for my set up on windows 7 with 9.7 drivers?

I have 4 gig of 1066 ddr 2 ram e8400 and gigabyte ds3l motherboard.

Next week i will have core i7 though :)
 
you should easily be able to overclock the e8400 to 4ghz, have you tried that to see if it improves it? although it dipping to 50fps is still very highly playable and especially if you have everything set to max.
 
Ye my board is not great for oc it hits wall after 3.7. from 3 ghz to 3.5 theirs no difference is peformance, my oc on my gpu improves the minimum fps, but dips into 55 in some intense area's.

Is cod 5 quad core optimised?
 
Ive buying it tomoz for a great price off MM i want to upgrade its my choice mate im not upgrading for cod im upgrading because i want to and because i want a ore i7. something is wrong with my system was same with a 4870 x2. im not getting great peformance.
 
Many people will say the fps drop is just the computer not handling it for a few seconds but I am 95% sure it is punkbuster screenshot. Unless this is happening on single player It is probably just that cause a second or two of lower fps.
 
What res are you playing? Your average should be over 60FPS, but the occasional dip is fine. i7 Will give you a small boost but nothing huge. i7 comes into it's own when combined with multi GPU systems, GTX285 SLI/Tri-SLI etc would show large gains over a highly clocked C2D/Q.
 
Res is 1600x1200, but i am upgrading to a 24" monitor in september. i have notice when their are huge explosion on screen their is a huge reduction in fps like at the start of the first map on WaW.

Fear 2 does not get close to 60fps maxed out on my system. it stays well above 70fps.

i7 cant support ram operating over 1.5v (in practise 1.6v)because it causes interference, all fast ram operates at 1.8v some even as much as 2.2v, that 1.8v ram would fry an i7 processor, so your going to be stuck with slow ram at least for the initial models.

LMFAO :rolleyes:

The slight dip to 50fps is fine, Im surprised you even notice it.
 
i cant notice a fps dip on cod 4/5 been having a blast on modern warfare at the weekend i run it pretty much maxed out on a 8800gt. it was a bit laggy on cod5 but i dident realise my virus scan was running :D turned it off then it was running sweet.

I would love to see your evidence to support this! NO really I would :D so i can laugh at its utter B*******.
 
He is confusing standard Dual Channel DDR3 with Tripple Channel DDR3, the latter needs a maximum of 1.65 (which the the max Intel Suggest) Although not sure where he got the 1.5v from :p

This is correct.

To use the well overkill 2000 mhz ram to make it any effective you need the juice to feed it anyway.
 
I often play COD4 with FPS on screen and never see a dip below 90fps on 8800GTS at 1680x1050 so perhaps ur issue is driver related. Is COD5 really that much more demanding? The demo certainly wasnt! Try the 9.6 cats?
