what fps does a 8800 get at cod 4

I don't know anyone that does this type of thing to play on pub servers, but all players who play for decent teams try to achieve 125, 250, or 333fps. It is a known fact that it makes a huge difference to CoD games and how you move/shoot. Its not the same for other games but it is certainly that way with CoD.

Seems stupid tbh, I'd hare to be in decent teams playing at 800x600 all low, seems like everyone wasting there money on graphics cards.
 
I personally play @ 1680X1050 and can still achieve a steady 333fps on most maps, I usually limit it to 250 though. I don't think gamers who consider themselves "pro" are really interested in nice visuals.
 
They should ban the ability to get high fps if this is true,
The game should be capped at 120fps if this is true,,,And be classed as cheating in mp if people disable the cap...

Wonder if there are any racing games were your car goes faster as the FPS gets higher ;)

lol... You wont find players in public servers doing this type of thing, even if there was you wouldn't notice it. Capping FPS only happens in competitive play where it actually matters, CoD2 was capped at 250, if you went higher you would be kicked, CoD4 however hasn't been capped yet so there are a lot more players doing it in competitive play, its perfectly normal.
 
i do play at normal res sometimes of playing single player games.i dont see point as some of you might not see with why i do it.it really is up to the individual really.yes i can play well if i want but not as good as i was.if im playing a seriuos game i will play different but public servers i play for a laugh.if i want to play serious games i go play free for all with the best that play cod4 or scrim with clans.like i said earlier i mainly play publics now as playing against really good players takes to much effort and i dont get as much enjoyment out of it as i used to.

servers i go on and a few others on here who go on them if you miss your dead everytime. its not a oh ive missed once get him now.thats when i put everything to what i need cause theyre all doing it aswell.i can manage a few games on there at a time but then concentration goes.where as publics can just play all day cause theyre pretty easy and a laugh.so things dont need to be set so uber.

the best thing that could be done is to disable any cvars or like so hardly anything can be changed probably make it fairer.

Yer i guess but i play at 20-30fps with 150+ ping and manage to make it in to the top places if im on a good day.

The lag doesnt bother me, its technique that gets me good scores.
 
sorry i guarentee go on a hard server with good players theyll hand it to you on a platter.

I was on a Hardcore server with clan members on. Just use an LMG with extra magazines, spray into walls, rooms, bridges and hay presto.

To a point but if it was that simple we would not have 1-2 hour server cat fights before wars.150 ping most players prob miss u first shot :P
 
with my gainward 8800GT 512mb i only get 93max fps with all settings on high and x4AA and a res on 1280x720

shouldnt it be higher?

Fair doo's on that account but I don't agree with having a steadier aim while moving with the scope or missing footsteps as that's an advantage gain. I unlock my FPS on all CoD games to let the game run at what it wants and only for that (except for the 125FPS in CoD1 to be able to jump on banisters in the house and to make certain jumps but not for anything else but that). In CoD1 and CoD2 I can see the fluidity as soon as it's set in console and it makes the game more playable as in movement, also the game is that old that it's hard to get a card that's not capable and everyone uses 125FPS and higher in CoD1. I've never set that up to gain an advantage over anyone though as everyone uses it. In CoD4 after seeing it locked at 91FPS like the other CoD games I released the FPS and for once nothing seemed different although I play it with max settings @ 1600x1200 (run higher res for SP). So that is probably the cause for that. If I ever start missing footsteps or my sights improve on the move then I'll limit my FPS to whatever stops this as I don't agree with it.

I'm not in a clan that competes. We are just a community of gamers that love us some CoD. I still play well for a fun gamer. Still learning in CoD4 but I can hold my own against great players. CoD1 is still my favourite though as it's a lot more skilled than CoD4, just a shame it's dying out :(.

Do you ever play on the FreePorn servers? (CoD1 and CoD4).
 
this thread reaks of failure and pathetic lives.
Really, turning all the graphics lower etc etc just to get higher fps so you jump shoot faster etc etc.. its a real joke, blabbing on about your razer.. thats just pathetic.
FPS obviously does make a difference, but anything stable and theres no difference to me.
Graphics on low doesnt always make it easier, it can make it harder to spot people due to square vegetation etc etc.
Bit of a joke 'pro' gamers etc and the wannabes these days, pooling all the money into hardware just for the games to look as **** as each other, but to run a tiny bit faster..
Really.. pointless.

Type this into console: /com_maxfps 500

Then press enter. Your card will never exceed 500FPS if you play the game with good graphic settings so that will release any of the potential of the card that is getting held back. Please don't go down the route of having your game at 800x600 with low graphic settings as it's a waste of time :).
 
Lots of things can be classed as lame Id rather play on a pub server with someone jumping that someone camping, its just a different type of abuse. One of the game code, the other of the fact that people don't want to wait 2 min of you hiding at the spawn before something happens. They wait until people get impatient enough to come after them, or they kill the people that cant be bothered to go hunting for the people hiding in obscure places. /rant over
 
I don't see the problem, it's the same as any sport when played seriously. You do everything possible to maximise performance, as long as it's within the rules.
