Help,insane Multiplayer lag..

[Dim Sum]

8800GTS should be fine, I have 2 8800gts 640mb in sli, I average 80-100fps. Something is wrong if 8800gts only manages 5-10fps. Sorry i can't help.

Make sure you have the latest drivers also, you do have the extra adapter from your PSU inserted into the gfx card.

Has that something with to do with the internett?

hey guys..when I launch cod4 sp it works fine no lag on max settings BUT when i launch multiplayer then huge lag goes even on the meniu screen and when i enter a server the lag just gets worse it shows only 5-10 fps then (on sp max shows 50-60 fps),pls help me with this problem couse ive waited for 3 months to try cod4 multiplayer and now this....

I was having this exact same problem. Call of Duty(R) 4 - Mulitplayer Warfare(TM) Mulitplayer was not on my Windows Firewall Exceptions list - only the demo was. Once I added Multiplayer to the exception list it now works great - no lag. This might be your problem...

Instructions for accomplishing above: start, all programs, accessories, system tools, security center. Click on Windows Firewall, click Exceptions tab, click Add Program, find Call of Duty(R)4 - Modern Warfare(TM) Mulitplayer, highlight and click ok.

Hope this helps.

I finally found the solution..those who have insane lag turn ON the Dual Video Cards option in grapics options..This worked for me hope this helps u either..GL playing!

^what if you don't have dual cards? I thought that was just for sli?

[expis]

that option is for dual cards but then how come my single ati 2900xt become dual 2900xt? it doesnt matter if u have dual or no dual just turn it on..

This happens even in the menus, and when playing on my own in a LAN server, would doubt its anything to do with my net connection.

Connection has absolutely zero impact on your FPS.

I have registered to this board to say that this works.
I have:
1 x EVGA GTS8800 320Megs
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2 Gigs ram
Win XP Pro SP2 DirectX9C November 2007
Latest Nvidia Beta Drivers 169.09 at this time

Framerate was 68-90 in single mode
Before the change, Framerate was 1-30 in multi mode, lagged like hell!
all settings were at minimum 640x480 etc..etc..

After the change, Framerate is 68-90 in multimode, smooth as can be.
all settings are maxed out at 1600x1050

So thank you very much, I had been triing to find this for 1 week now and I could not figure it out. AND I probably would have never tried to set the card at DUAL since (for now) I have only one.

Thank you, your post has helped.
