    Specs:
    Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9600 (6MB cache/2.80GHz/1066Mhz FSB)
    RAM: 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1067MHz (2 Dimms)
    Video Card: NVIDIA® SLI™ Dual GeForce® 9800M GT 1GB GDDR3
    Screen Resolution: 19" 1920x1080

    When i bought world at war, runs good at lower resolutions (1280x1024) and (1024x768) but when i tone it to 1680x1050 or 1920x1200, i get lowwwww fps, like 15 avg, at 1024x768 i get 40 FPS max.... whats going on here :/

    You should be able to pretty much max that, hmm.
    Are you on power saver, or high performance? And also plugged in?
    Have you updated your graphics card drivers?

    Are you sure SLI is enable? Check that in the Nvidia Control Panel... Also check under 3d Config in the NVCP the Sli mode... Check that isn't at Single GPU.. Put it on SLI RECOMMENDED or Split Frame Rendering 2...

    Do that for the Global Configuration and under the Program Tab, do it for the game itself...

    In the video options of CoD:W@W, do you have "Dual video cards" enabled?

    I'm guessing the game was taking longer than usual to load data (maps and such) from the hard drive which would cause stuttering during gameplay... but I'm not sure.

    Much as I know that only effects loading time between maps/levels. Becouse people say SSD not effect FPS. If that is true I don't think that can make you lose some FPS. But not sure like I sayid. Only theory here :D
