What is your CPU usage while playing the game? It can be a driver issue too.

its at like 30%

my drivers should be up to date

 

[asalikus]

Here you should try auto detect for drivers from AMD.

Do you experience this issue with any other games?

 

[eric16288]

I've done some research about the motherboard you had and it seems to have struggle with Activision games without the bios update.

Here is another thread of the same problem: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/315251-30-gigabyte-m68mt-bios-update

Cheap motherboard causes big problems, you should install some of the updates that are at the bottom of this this website, but I'm still not completely sure what the problem is. If the website doesn't work for you then try the driver CD that came with the motherboard.

Don't give up, show it to a IT pro or something...

Did you update to 12.11?

 

[eric16288]

Yeah, I have 12.11

You have the 7850, try to overclock it to around 1000mhz. I got my 7870 at 1200mhz and it runs mw3 at around 125-250 fps on max settings 1080p.
Try to increase some of the other setting only a little bit to give you more success when overclocking. Possibly you are experiencing bottlenecks? Your PC specs seems about equal so probably not that :/. I know the 7800 series card can overclock really well with the right stuff, so try it. If not successeful, go back to the stock settings or re install the drivers.

 

[eric16288]

alright let me try that ^^

 

[amuffin]

7850 should run MW3 max settings regardless of OC or not.

 

[asalikus]

He don't need to overclock his card, trust me. I get 60fps on my Intel 4000 on high settings.

So it shouldn't be a graphics problem , right? Do you think it's a CPU issue?

 

[asalikus]

I don't think it's a CPU issue, just my opinion...

[eric16288]

Alright

So, my graphic shouldn't be the problem. (I took out my 7850 and replaced a 6670 with according drivers, still same results.)

Psu is at 1200W Antec

I don't know what the problem is..
