Look at this for a laugh, dropped my res to 1920x1080 with crossfire still enabled and look how low my framerate still managed to dip.

And that wasn't the lowest, i seen it spurt down to the 60fps range. Top marks to treyarchs coders, they sure know how to manage to totally balls up a game.

Matter of interest G, I am totally impressed with 11.8s on Black Ops (I reported this in thread in Gfx forum) as they seem to have nailed fps drops for me, have you chanced just using a single GPU? (or 11.8s and latest CAP perhaps with ur cf?)

..... Maybe your problems are caused by camping with a crossbow?

Turn off shadows, gerard, christ knows what treyarch did, maybe they applied ambient occlusion to everyone's internal organs. It's amazing that they can take a flawless, brilliantly optimized engine and bring it to it's knees by making a handful of little changes. Hats off to them.

They just bastardised it to fit the current flava of consoles, welcome to 21st century gaming Activision style

Grrrrrrr.... latest patch makes this crash in the menu system; whether creating a class or trying to browse servers. Thanks for fixing the random gameplay crashes Treyarch, but do you think you could design a menu system that isn't totally broken too?

Reinstalled this last night and had a quick blast just now, still very low gpu usage but its playing incredibly smoothly. None of the stuttering i experienced before. Will have to play it a bit more as it was pretty good fun

linktoinsanity · 3 Sep 2011 at 13:34

I'm still playing this now and again. It's ok for a quick blast and as setter says is reasonably smooth now.

@ panyan: There is no server run by anyone on this forum that I am aware of. There were 3, TFU x2 and LTUK, but I took mine offline due to the bugs which made a completely vanilla server crash when it got busy and I think TFU have since taken theirs down too...

erm i think meakal had a server up not sure now

So it goes down to 60fps, who cares in the end? Sure it should be way higher but does it really matter?

in cod it sure does matter.

setter · 3 Sep 2011 at 14:26

Isnt the game locked to display 99fps or so? No problems with low fps here thankfully. Forgot just how quick you have to be in this game, bit rusty but ill get there soon.

Yes it does, the movement feels sluggish when its been up at around double that framerate and the weapons also seem to fire slower as the framerate plummets.

The fact you're saying "does it really matter" is laughable, it just shows how much of an afterthought this version was, its been buggy since day one especially where framerate is concerned and its still not fixed. 4.5ghz cpu and 2 6970's and this piece of **** still manages to tank down below 60fps, ive seen the framerate go down to 40 odds on some maps. But yeah you're right, all this power and it can't run properly, clearly it doesn't matter. :rolleyes:

This is as far as I got in the CoD series and I don’t think I finished it, so starting this one again

Going to play through a few I think. I have BO2 and advanced warfare in my library still to play. Think I played MW2, not sure about 3.

That said, was surprised to see it stuck at 91fps on a 7900XTX and 7800X3D. I guess there’s a cap.

There is a default FPS cap of 85 but it results in 91 due to rounding precision. I can't remember the CVAR to change it now.

IIRC stopped playing the game due to stutter and stuff despite enjoying it in many ways and getting a lot of crazy scoring games.
