Good Article

but alot of us, if you check the other forums out there are having big issues with SLI

i myself use a GTX 295 and im getting even less then 70fps!

in the end i've put the exe's into the cod4MW1 profile do get a solid 60fps. but in heavy fire fights it drags! even a 275 should be doing better then this!

I've tried the drivers you guys tested with. but i also tried the new beta drivers from nvidia.

no bottleneck here

Q9550 @ 3.8 Prime & OCCT stable
4GB Corsair Dominator @ 1102
GTX 295 overclocked to 650/1400/1020

I do however have a physx card - 8800GTX im wondering if this might be for some totally unrelated reason be causing an issue? i'll probably take it out and try it.

I can also confirm that SLI works perfectly in all the other games i play. Crysis wars/warhead being one of them.

I must ask! how did you get SLI to work with those drivers steve? as SLI support for that title isn't native. - fact.

well it's not windows 7. thats for sure! and i'm failing to see it being the X58. if it is! i'll eat my hat.

perhaps you could look at the profile for us? maybe look at it through nhancer?

i reckon this would help alot of us out.

Well! i found a fix! hope this can be of some use to everyone!

it seems that the normal upgrade to the new beta drivers from nvidia didn't like the transition. despite trying it about 3 times.

in the end i ran driversweeper and did it from scratch

now i'm getting 100+fps maxed out. 80~ in heavy firefights.

Not bad!

Some people are unaware that motherboards using an Nvidia chipset often have problems. I have read here many problem statements from posters with CPU and video cards listed, however, except for [-Steve-], no motherboards were listed [that I can remember].

Motherboards made with Intel chipsets that support SLI do not exhibit the SLI problems that many motherboards with Nvidia chipsets exhibit.

Note: Early X58 chipset motherboards has had some problems in various areas, some USB situations for example, however, BIOS revisions have been fixing those problems.

Very good read.

I have a pair of geforce gtx 260 graphics cards and they work fine in sli with mw2. The performance is incredible at 1920x1080 and for a game that doesnt use a new engine the graphics sure are impressive.

No no Steve,

thank you for the indepth comparisons. best on the web for sure!

to the other bloke, im using an intel chipset and i had the SLI issue.

Like i said. it didnt seem to enjoy a straight upgrade from 191.07 to the betas.

Driversweep and a fresh install was my cure!

alot of my friends are having bigger problems however. crashes as soon as it loads! apparently steam and IW are working on the issue.

Put a half way decent cooler on your E4300 and you should be able to overclock it between 3.4GHz and 3.6GHz, more than enough power to feed your 9600GT.

im also having the same problem, I have an macbook pro with this ATI x1600 with 256 MB, i already tryed to reinstall the drivers, but it didnt work

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

hi my name is angel and i have a problemou i cant seem to fix.

q9550 2.6 oc to 3.4 steady
i780 sli mobo
6g ram ddr2 800
gtx 260 core 16 oc to 675/1455/1152/40
aftermarket fan my cpu temp never goes higher than 49 on stress load! 34idle

win 7 64 ultimate

nvidia 191.07

i start playing cod mw 2 on mp and for a a stage or maybe for two stages i'm steady at 60fps never a hick up. but then suddenly it drops to 40 - 46 fps and it stays there. now if i restart the PC then it goes back to been fine for a bit and then boom.. fps drop again. all other games run perfect. im downloading now the beta drivers from nvidia 195 and see how that goes.. any suggestions or tweaks on cfg anything you guys think might help?

thanks!

im running my nivida 7950 gx2 with amd athlon x2 5600+ and twin corsair 2gb ram.
Multiplayer was fine but lately all the soldiers are just black with no colour/texture just like shadows running around.
anyone know why?

My GeForce 8400 GS 512MB can play COD6 but a litlle laggish when set AA x4 sometimes it will hang at there a while Do anybody know any trick to make my graphic card more powerfull for gaming

These guys don't know what they're missing out playing this aesthetically beautiful game on a budget card.....

Then again, I'm still sorely disappointed by the lack of dedicated servers.

Playing on my shining new GTS260... at least until BC2 is released.

BF:BC2 is that option, and its cheaper than MW2 @ US$49.99 on Steam as pre-order, with instant access to beta.

A good deal if you ask me, although I'd be waiting till this Friday before I put my purchase through.

Can call of duty run with this card: Intel GMA 4500M?

i have an x1650 pro vid card wit 1g ram and pentium 4 proccessor for some reason rundown, sub base, underpass, terminal, and derail dont work. When the loading map screen comes up after half way of loading, the screen brightness increases and it freezes. wat do i do? i used the msconfig to stop all the services and startup other than steam. As well as sometimes when im playing on afghan i get these black squares that on the screen that cover up the crosshairs and other details on the map
