CoD WaW FPS issue.

[dmxdex2020]

When i am playing CoD WaW online i seem to get strange FPS in certain aspects. If i am hit by Tabun Gas my fps go down from 150 to 30. If i am in the thick of a Artillery my fps will also drop down to 30fps. Smoke causes slow downs aswell. I am sure smoke and airstrikes do not slow me down in Cod 4. My card is a 4870 x2. Anybody else experience this?

Res is 1920x1080 4AA. my card should handle them issues though. Either driver issue or just bad cod engine.

Yep i dont use AA or AF through CCC just eats fps up.

I have lowered the res to 280x1024 and tabun gassed my self and drops to 50s. It has to be drivers. Cod still has not had a proper fix for ati cards with load times. i was using a 9600gt because i just got my card back from RMA its new and it never slowed down with the 9600gt. only low res though with no eyecandy. This is ridiculous that a 4870x2 cannot handle this. Very disapointed. I also tried OC to 800 core mem 1020. and its the same. Surely that means its driver related or cod waw just dont run well on ATI cards.

i get 70+fps at 1920x1200, maxed out. but no AA

Is that even when you have been tabun gased?

Really annoyed to be honest. Smoke and gas really hit the gpu. I have been playing cod waw all year and i cannot remember if i had the same issues with vista i dont think i did. i am on windows 7 now.

Just turn Catalyst AI off which i assume is crossfire and i left Dual video card option on because when i turned it off I was only getting 70 odd fps maxed out. Turning Catalyst AI off has sorted the fps issues out. I dont get this though. The game has the dual gpu option and yet it dont work well in dual cards? or is cod just not working well with crossfire? However turning it off for single players leaves me with only 50 fps. So multi does not like catalyst AI were as single player struggles without it. Fps can dip into 50s with Crossfire off when i am in a room on my own, god knows what it will be like in a room with 40 odd people. This is poor that a lot games dont run properly on crossfire, ati need to get the act together with the turd drivers.

I have my core i7 at 3.2

Disabling cat ai fixed the drop from 150 fps to 30. but when i play single player i only get 50fps and when i play multi in big servers get drops below 60fps. I wish i didnt buy this 4870x2 nothing but aload of rubbish. What is the point in buying a graphics card built for double the power when no game supports it waste of my 300 pound.

ATI should have better drivers out, the 4870x2 has been out for ages and yet a lot of games just do not want to know. Not sure if its down to windows 7 and ati optimising the drivers for the OS. I cannot afford another card. Nvidia do not have anything i want and ati's new cards have driver issues. And im sure if my 4870x2 has issues then other ati cards in crossfire will suffer the same problem. And as you say mate not consistant enough.
