    Hey all,

    Playing black Ops I'm getting a maximum of 30 fps in both single and multiplayer. 1024x768 is the setting I'm trying at currently and it is fairly choppy and hard to play. Is there a setting I'm not seeing? Have the High-Performance (AMD) graphics turned on. Thanks for any pointers on resolving this.

    Signature is my current setup.

    Have you checked that you are plugged in and your GPU is set at "Maximize Performance" in power options?

    Yea, sadly my computer has a "plugged in not charging" problem. So it's always plugged in at the moment. All settings I can find in power options and on the graphics card are set to Max Performance.

    Try to uninstall CCC and reinstall it with the latest one on Dells website.
