COD World at War on M1530

I just got CodWaW and am playing it on my m1530. Computer specs in sig. It seems that my system struggles to run it. Is this normal? When I set the resolution to 1400x900 I am only getting about 17-26 fps. I have AA turned off along with almost everything else. When I turn the resolution down to I think its 1280x768 I get about 25-35 fps but it is still jerky. Is this normal for an m1530 with a 8600gt?

 

Sounds weird. With a 8400m gts, i was playing CoD4 at 1024 768 high, no shadows and none of that useless. Stuff.

So you should be able to play it at max. At 1280 800.

 

I have CoD4 and I can play it at 1400x900 if I turn the shadows, AA, etc. off. On CoD4 I get 35-60 fps. When I am using the flame thrower is WaW my fps drops to about 15-22.

 

i play COD on my 9200m GS

 

i think you guys should wait for a more recent driver to come out

 

You sure youre not in power saver mode or something?

 

What driver are you on? I play on 1440x900 and get pretty good FPS.

 

I-myself have a crap performance.. 30-40FPS, expecting the double soon.. same thing happened with COD4 for me when it first came out

 

i got poor performance with the beta even when i turned most of the stuff down.

 

My friend's 1530 handled it fine as far as I could tell. There was only a little lag when flamethrower was used. He was playing at 1440x900.

 

Are you playing single player or multiplayer? I a 8600m gt oc to 550/700/1250 and have spec. map and shadows turn off and I average around 30 fps in multiplayer. In single player however, I get much lower fps, especially in the iron and tank level were it drops to single digits.

 

I'm using 176.44 drivers. Will newer drivers make a noticable difference? I had tried some newer ones about 6 weeks ago, but they made the computer unstable so I just stuck with the Dell drivers. Is there a newer driver that would have increased performance for CoD and still be stable on my m1530? Yes, I checked my power saving mode. It does seem that single player is the only problem. When I play multiplayer I can do 1400x900 with only a few hiccups here and there if I turn most things off or down. On single player it is jerky with 1400x900 most of the time.

 

It might. He was running 180.48 drivers off of laptopvideo2go.

 

change your drivers, you should be close to maxing out that game with constant 30+ fps @ your resolution.

 

anyone else not able to use their 360 wired controller for this game?

 

The 360 controller doesn't support CoD by default IIRC, but you can get it to work by using a program like Xpadder

 

I'm using 180.44 .. with AA off, max settings @ 1280 x 800 --> it's like butter. Works well at 1440 x 900 as well, with a few tweaks, but I find 1280 x 800 is better for multiplayer

 

I haven't tried CoD5 yet but I too run run 4 maxed out at 1280x800 with some AA as well, I think and it runs butter smooth

 

cod 4 ran a lot better than cod:WAW for me.

 

My HDX runs WaW maxed, 8x AF, at 1366 x 768, rarely goes below 25 FPS, usually 30-60, but that's not the problem. I get a lot of stuttering instead, specifically in busy combat spots until everything is loaded. It's quite prominent and annoying, and I'm sure a lot of people have that problem.

Also, I have a good way of benchmarking your FPS. The beginning cutscene of the second mission, when you're riding the boat onto the beach, is pretty demanding. I get about an even 30 FPS through there. Turning res up to 1080p, it drops to about 15

 

I'll have to try it and see how it runs on my system @ 1280x800.

Hopefully I can play it at good settings with a decent framerate
