I have an Evga 8800gt which came at standard speeds. After setting my fan speed to 70% and o/cing to superclock speeds I originally thought I was getting 30-35 fps in COD4. I messed with riva tuner a little a figured out how to view the fps while playing the game. to my surprise I was actually getting more like 60fps with almost everything turned up to maxed at 1680X1050 resolution. this was a pleasant surprise. ANyways just wondering what others users with an 8800gt are getting in COD4

Depending on the map, I'm anywhere from 50fps to 90fps. Usually its above 70. I'm OCed to 700/1900 with fan on 75% using RivaTuner. Settings are all on max @ 1680x1050.
 
I'm at 1680x1050 on a GTS at 750/1000 and I average around 65FPS. I mean it goes down to mid 50's at times but then again goes up in the 80's at other. Normally it's mid 60's. So you are right where you sould be.

Looks AWESOME doesn't it? :sol:

I flashed by XFX 8800GT bios to 725/2000 after I put on the HR-03 GT. I havent played COD4 much recently, but when I was playing it, at 1680x1050, 4xAA/8xAF with everything maxed out, I was staying above 60fps most of the time. My E6550 is running at 3.33Ghz, so that wasnt hurting my fps either.

damn, mabey i should have gotten an 8800gt. But they were overpriced back then so i got a 3870. I put an accellero S1 on it with the turbo modules. It is overclocked at 860/1250 and im only getting about 30fps.

The last time I said "WOW" while playing a game was when I first got my Xbox 360 ad played COD2 and Oblivion. THis just mops the floor with the 360. which is even better since I sold the 360 in part to start my new build. I would love to get Oblivion and play it on my new system with the 8800gt. It will probably be the next game I buy since I didn't reeally have a chance to play it when I had it for the Xbox
 
Even with my old card COD4 looked sweet. I got dizzy cause it bobbed up and down when you run. It took some getting used to. Wish i bought it over Crysis, a buddy gave me COD4 in, um a not so legit way to play with to see if i liked it. Crysis sucks online, but 1 player is ok. I will never again buy a game before a gets a cracked version. I hate blowing $50 on a game and it isn't that cool.

Oblivion is SOO time consuming. I got to a place and got stuck so i quite playing. I got to the painting thing and wasnt strong enough and my save points wouldn't let me out of it.

that's what I want. A long drawn out RPG. There aren't many out that I have seen, then again I haven't really looked all that hard. I want something with an intriging story and something that is repetative...like W.O.W.. Yes, I tried W.o.W., and it was ok at first, but after a few days of playing I realized every quest was pretty much the same. Kinda retarded. If any of you know of any good indepth rpgs lemme know
 
Yeah Oblivion is just quests and then you get other quests while doing those quests and it's never ending. It was really fun till I got stuck. And then if you do finish it they have expansions packs for other areas and MORE quests. If you need an RPG time killer that is the game for you. It looks awesome to.

I've got the same card and I love it. Haven't bought COD4 for PC because of its lack of online user base vs. the 360 and I'm not as console-FPS phobic as some of the diehard Counterstrike fans are.

Can't wait until I get another 8800GT and SLI them.

Been there done that. Its been a year and a half but I remember trying to save the guy that got sucked into his own painting. I also saved at the wrong time and it took me a good many tries to kill the creatures that gang up on you! Dang that game was worth it though! I also enjoy the Shimmering Isles expansion. Highly recommended!

i play BF:2142 and my moniter is 1680x1050. i also have the "vanilla" 8800gt. i use the in-game res of 1440x1050 and am on all high w/ 2x AA. with using free version of FRAPS (not OC'd) i get a high of 95-no action, around 75/65-during heavy action and dip as low as 45-in the middle of an orbital strike. and all this is on a 64man max server.

no lag at all. so i'm loving life right now!

As an avid online player, I can safely say that I have not had a problem finding plenty of people to play with.
