Good afternoon all. As a impulsive buyer I am feeling the need to buy this game as soon as I'm off work.
My predicament is not really a huge one, but a minor one.
You see, I have a PS3, a 360 and now this new laptop.
I find my real "FPS" skills are with a Keyboard/Mouse where I have more precision and better reflexes. I also find that I'm a huge achievement and therefore I like to play on 360/PS3....
I guess I've decided internally that I'll get it for the PC, but I am wondering if G73JH would run it as well as I want it to.
Has one bought it yet? I know my machine surpasses the minimum requirements with ease, I was just curious about anyone who's played it yet.
Thanks!

You rock.
Just wondering now about the multiplayer aspect. People are saying it's "choppy". While not related to the actually horse power of the machine itself, it's likely something to do with the millions of people trying to play. I'm sure it will smooth out over time...
Since my main focus for getting this game will be the multiplayer (of course!) I hope this game doesn't let me down as much as Fallout New Vegas did for PC... Holy that hurt my heart. -
Ill have this game on the 13th.....sooo looking foward to playing on my G73...

yup, played it and dolsson is right it has that lag issue but its not the problem with our g73jh its happening with everyone. So we can just sit back and hope for an update

Working great on my G73, have not bench marked it yet but it is smooth playing so far.
I have not found any games that do not run really well on the G73. -
The CoD games are impeccably optimized for performance. that's what makes them so good! I'm sure you'll have no worries w/ running Black Ops at max settings.

I do currently have a SP Campaign vid rendering that has max settings with vsync on/off to show the screen tear. It's not as bad as other games, but it's plain to see.
Just a quick look seems like avg somewhere 40s and I've seen dips to high 20s, and I picked some highly explosive scenes. Pretty smooth for me, but I don't need the 8xAA.
It will be uploaded by this evening.
EDIT: After watching the 12 minutes of gameplay, I'd say it's fair around mid to high 30's for an avg. All the heavy action was in low thirties and I only seen it dip to mid 20's a handful of times.
Vid is 1080p and has 3 hrs to go for upload.

Quagmire, your Qube still makes me warm and fuzzy inside. I'm 2muchfreetime on YouTube by the way, just recently commented on your CoD vid

>.> does the game really need 8xaa or was this just to show maxed out settings?
-
Running on my G73JH just perfectly. All settings maxed.
And as far as the lag, Treyarch is really good about fixing bugs quickly, so we should see an update soon to resolve the lag issues *everyone* is facing.
oh, and running the 10.10d drivers with MLAA enabled, that Chastity posted a little while back. -

Finished the campaign, and i run it on max.
Lags a bit here and but it seem more like optimisation problem than anything else. -
Yeah the game runs pretty damn smooth on the G73 without a doubt. I never ever use Ansiotropic filtering or AA, but I have Ansio up to max, and AA on 4x.
Do I notice an image difference? Maybe if I looked side by side, but otherwise I just turned them on because I could. What am impressive machine.
However, I am eagerly awaiting the fix for the silly stuttering in MP. -
I'd edit that dolsson before a mod does

Tip for everyone:
edit players/config.cfg->
seta r_multithreaded_device "0" -> seta r_multithreaded_device "1"
...
seta r_multiGpu "1" -> seta r_multiGpu "0"
Definitely helped with minimum FPS for me. -
The game runs like butter in between the micro freezing. -
What vga drivers are you guys using?
I use 10.7 and in big fights on mission 2, I get 20-25 minimum FPS, kinda low compared what Quaqmire showed on his video -
Haven't played much SP - just 15-20min or so. -
-
-
But how on earth does Quag get almost 2x more avg FPS?! -

finished the campaign and playing multiplayer, maxed on the G73, no anti-aliasing though, still looks extremely beautiful

).
The config adjustment did take care of the lowest dip when it hit 19FPS sliding down the zip line (stayed at ~30FPS) and helped some elswhere to keep from the mid 20's. So that change will raise your all important MIN & AVG FPS.
The test vid for the 0xAA didn't change the FPS much in some areas of heavy particle and vegetation scenes, but other scenes like the car getaway, some firefight and indoors, the FPS took off and this will raise your HIGH & AVG.
So imo, you need both. 0xAA will up your AVG and HIGH, but won't do much for the low 30s during heavy combat/grass and it won't help those dip areas much, and I agree nikolai090, 0xAA looks fine.
With the multithreaded adjustment and 8xAA maxed, the G73JH can still run it very well in SP and that kind of AA does make it look better on my HDTV. Certainly don't need it for the G73 screen.
MP gaming and testing tomorrow.

Read that the COD BO is actually borked on PC. It's running more resources on the CPU rather than the GPU as it should. Reading people who have monster desktop rigs also complaining. Should be a patch or something soon. Treyarch sucking rofl as expected.
-
It feels like im running on Furmark when i play this game. HW Monitor registered the highest to be 82C.
At the same time, a larger scale game with much better graphics and more players actually run far cooler than BO. Hits 70C as far as i know. -
So, I'm guessing that the performance issues that have been reported only affect some users and not everyone?
I really want to buy this game for the PC since I prefer the mouse+KB setup versus the Dual-Shock 3 but I placed my purchase on hold until I'm sure the issue's fixed. Or maybe I just get the PS3 version instead. -
I'm running the game through my Plasma at 1080p, everything maxed but corpses set to medium and 2xAA. The game clearly has optimization issues as the FPS can vary wildly for no justifiable reason, but it's mostly very playable at 40-70 FPS with occasional hiccups when the performance briefly crashes from 70 to ~30 FPS.
Talking about SP here. Damn good SP campaign, too. -

Heh, me I'm going to wait and see what the former Infinity Ward crew will come up with instead and with every game release, I prefer EA over Activision. -

What are your temps guy's
I played nearly 6 hours and my temps staying at 64c the most. -
I played Arma II the other day for over 7 hours and looking at the record of my temps I was at 65c for most of the time, but there where some at 61 so I guess every thing is working fine for me in the heatsink and cooling area. -
I get 86c on GPU and around around 65-67c on CPU. Which temps are you guys talking about?
