hey guys, i bought a pc prob 6 months ago, it can easily reach the specs for cod4 and everything but when i go in game i dont get 250 fps constant. i usually run my resolution at 1280x1024 which is my max for my monitor. i have tried lowering my resolution to 800x600 and still cant get 250 constant. :/ its really starting to bug me so i thought i would ask on here to see if anyone has any solutions to help me. i have also tried using gamebooster and still nothing.

PC Specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz
CPU Speed: 2.9 GHz Performance Rated at: 5.22 GHz
RAM: 4.0 GB
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 (build 7600), 64-bit
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series (Think its a 5770)

Any help would be great <3

i have same cpu and ram as you but i have a gtx 260 and windows vista. i can get 333 constant (illegal, which i do not use anymore) but when change to 250 its not constant so i think it must be promod tbh

hahaha.

So you used to...

why you say constant. How much does it dip?
if its just the number flickering, even I get that sometimes and I hold 1000 fps.
If its significantly lower, id say its the CPU

i did to try it out hahaha

seta com_maxfps "250"

Download a pro config, and then see. If your maxing out your graphics you won't get 250 constant on that rig.

I'd put my money on the CPU bottlenecking the GPU

I'm sorta having the same problem (look at FPS meter):

I have no idea how to explain it, but all I know is that this: http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/280317/new-ati-drivers/ sorta solved it. I still get some FPS lag in areas though.

I've got:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz (4 CPUs)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
RAM: 3326MB
OS: Windows XP Home
(Will take the flame, I was a complete sped when I bought this PC).

turn off specular map? you will get 250.
also r_rendererpreference shader model 2.0
vid_restart

insta 250

But I love specular map ...

these are my screenies, same as vyybz. :/ i have already tried that tek9 website thing :/ that didnt work :/ its really making me angry now because i spent $1000 on this rig and i cant even get 250 fps constant on the only game i play :/

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I've tried Tek9 and http://www.tek-9.org/forum/Call_of_Duty_4-13/cg_ms_frame_problem-2556.html says it's CPU related.
