Hey everyone, even after the update of blackops recently I still develope the spikeness and minifreeze when seeing an oponent but its less than before. I still dont get why? again my specs are e8400 stock,4870,4gb of pc8500 corsair.

Arstechnica did a article where he calls it VERY cpu bound. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/review...broken-leg.ars
Here Techspot came to the same conclusions.

The game likes Intel Cpu's and it likes Quad cores.

This cpu test/ was done with a 5970- from text, I believe.

Although it is a CPU bound game, Black Ops doesn't rely on a processor's L3 cache to perform at its best. The quad-core Athlon II processor X4 645 was just 6fps slower than the hexa-core Phenom II X6. Moreover, six cores are a waste in this game and the Phenom II X4 970 proved that added frequency is more valuable.
Something that’s immediately apparent when looking at the above graph is the fact that the Core i5 and i7 processors are far superior to anything else we tested. For example, when paired with the Radeon HD 5970, the Core i5 750 was a staggering 29% faster than the Phenom II X4 970, which we might add is clocked 32% more aggressively.
The Core i3 540 on the other hand crashed and burned, with just 42fps on average, making it surprisingly slower than the Core 2 Duo E8500. Clearly, Hyper-Threading technology was of little help here.

Thanks for the links,but the game has optimization problems, I made a few tweaks and it runs better for me but sometimes i get sudden FPS drops,(which seems very common)

have the same thing... i have ~70-100 fps but sometimes it drops to 10-20 which is interesting i admit that my processor could be better but still if i manage to get around 100 fps it shouldnt decrese by that much..

I have no problem with FPS it's just the random crashing.
