    i have been having issues on my m17 playing COD 4

    i lagggged really bad, so i tried running on one card and that made it fine for 1 level then it came back. So i tried dual cards and it worked so i thought o well .... then it started lagging again so i tried single GPU again and i turned down AA and AF and it still laggs so..... it's not lagging due to lack of power in the GPU's or CPU ...


    is there a certain driver that just doesn't work with it well ?

    i asking if any one else has played on their computer and if they had issues\\

    running
    xfire
    t9400
    2gigs of ram
    win 7
    mobility 9.3



    thanks
    will

    Been playing CoD4 since the date it released :p

    So far ive tested it with 8.12, 9.1 and 9.5 without any issues. Usually im 67+ fps in worst case scenarios, using 2x AA though since it helps with maps with a lot of players playing :)

    The only "issue" i have is basically the smoke bombs. Smoke bombs = lag :p Other than that no issues at all.

    I have had no issues with this game at all. I set everything to max and AA to 4x, no lie. Wish I could do that in Crysis Warhead.

    If it helps, I am using E-wrecked's 9.1 of course, and Vista 64-bit.
