Hi!
I have asus radeon R7 250 1gb ddr5, cpu: quadcore q9550 4x2.83ghz and 4GB of 800 mhz ram.
In COD4 i only have 30 fps on minimum settings, on maximum only have 24. Pls help me, what is the problem, i reinstalled the windows and installed the newest driver for graphics card. Is that card too weak for COD4? Is it possible? btw i have 305 watt psu, and my cpu temperature when it loads is 64(max can be 72 Celsius).
 
Solution
Yes, you have a low PSU. But PSU may not necessarily solve it though you should have chosen a higher PSU coz PSU never deliver the written output.
Also clear any dust from the CPU, GPU heat fins and the fans. Temp should be below 50'c when you start the PC and run idle!
Try clearing off all the unwanted processes from the task manager. And then try gaming, coz may be your CPU is running too much background processing.
Also try to run any other games.

I calculated from this site: http://www.msi.com/power-supply-calculator/ and i got 305 W. If i add 50-80W i will get 355-385. Do you think i have a low PSU? Do yout think if i bought a new PSU my problem would go away? Thank you for your reply.

I tried all of the above but none of them worked. When i start my PC the CPU is between 45-50 degrees. Thanks for the answers anyways, i will try it with a 500W power supply because nothing else can be the problem.(everything was tested)

You may also try reinstalling the latest drivers by first using CC cleaner and uninstalling with DDU (display driver uninstaller) in safe mode. Then download and reinstal the latest drivers!
