Low FPS with EVGA GTX 460SE 1GB on CoD: BO

[madregoose]

As we all know CoD: BO is terrible when it comes to getting good FPS. I upgraded today from a GTS 250 to a GTX 460 and i'm seeing no improvement. In fact, my config during the GTS 250 ran smoother with a higher frame rate than when it was used with the GTX 460.

The drivers are installed properly and the video card itself is fine. I've heard some say that BO has compatibility issues with Nvidias 400 Series.


All in all, i just need some insight, whether it be opinions that were spit balled or based on personal experiences.

It runs exceptionally well with other games. I was getting at the minimum of 75 FPS in Crysis 2 and maintaining around 80-115. But in BO, it normally stays around 50-60 and doesn't hesitate to drop down into the 30-40s



Any advice would be appreciated.

Is vsync enabled in CoD: BO, but not in Crysis 2? That would explain the 50-60 max FPS in CoD: BO if true. Also, what driver version are you running?

What resolution do you play at?
If you are play on HD monitor then bumping CPU speed will greatly boost your performance...
Yes, you can try disabling the VSync.

Vsync is disabled and i'm on 1024x768

Oh and i'm running the newest drivers. I know there are newer ones in beta, but i'm not using them.

At those resolutions your framerates are probably going to be limited by your CPU. Have you considered overclocking your CPU?

I just overclocked the CPU from 2.66 to 3.1

It's sustaining it's FPS better but i could still be better based on my hardware.
