Re: 8800gts

Doh, resolution. Mines 1680 x 1050, thats why the FPS goes to the 40s for me.

Re: 8800gts

say if im not spending over 300$, what is the cheapest NVIDIA card i can get to max out this game with at least 50fps, MAX OUT MEANS EVERYTHING!!!! lol

What resolution do you want to use? And are you only interested in COD4, or also setting yourself up for other powerhouse games like Crysis and future titles?

Re: 8800gts

wtf? I run a 7900 and I roll on high, and like...i get between 150-200 fps...

Not with AA, AF, and Specular Map on a high resolution you don't.

If you're getting 150-200 fps, you've got a lot of things tweaked/turned down to get those kinds of frame-rates (esp if you're using one of the custom 'competitive' configs). The 7900 isn't that powerful a card.

Re: 8800gts

I have the 512MB version and it will do everything at max with about 30 - 40 FPS. If I turn a few useless things off like glow and the depth perception thing and be reasonable with stuff like AA and texturing, I get 100+ FPS.

Re: 8800gts

The 320mb and 640mb are old versions.

New version are 8800gt and the slightly better version, the 8800gts 512mb (Note, this is NOT the same card as the 640/320 version.)

Re: 8800gts

dont get 8800....theres a new series of nvidia geforce....9 serise like its supposted to have twice the power of a 8800gts..

Far from it. And they're a lot more expensive too.

Buy a 8800GT or the 512 mb version of the GTS. Don't buy the 320 or 640 mb version of the GTS since they're crap (not really but you can get much better cards for less money)

If you want to save a little then get a 9600GT. Not as powerful as the 8800's but a little heaper.

Make sure you have a big enough PSU and a compatible motherboard first though.

Re: 8800gts

30-40? i have the 8800gt and go down to only like 50 and thats in smoke

Yea, ive seen it that low before. those numbers are "guesstamites" If someone is going to buy something expensive on my recomendation, I want them to be prepaired that it MIGHT go as low as that.

But it did stay around the 40 50 range for me with everything turned on and a lot of things going on.

Re: 8800gts

bout to buy new g card to run this game higher. want to kno with the 8800GTS 320 MB 320 Bit will max this game out in every aspect? and at high res with good fps

The 320MB version of that card is kind of underpowered. If money is a concern, you're better off with an 8800GT. Check out this graph: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...0,1726-17.html

It's quite possible that even the new 9600GT may outperform it (or be very close to it, and is a bargain)

If money isn't a big issue, go with the higher MB versions of that card (512MB, 640MB) or bump up to the GTX version, or even the new 9800 series if you have the cash.

Re: 8800gts

How much are you gonna be paying for the card? In most cases, it's best to just skip the 8800GTS 320mb and get something else
