Slow performance 8800m gts

Hey guys i recently tried cod wow and the performance isnt quite there. It runs a bit choppy at times. I remember playing cod4 and it ran smooth on highest settings.

Also, world in conflict runs a bit choppy too.

I have windows 7 installed with the nvidia beta drivers.

Has any1 tried these games and had performance issues??

They all have system requirments recomended is like 7600gt and i know the 8800m gts is at least that.

Thank You, please help!!

 

Got to remeber that the Windows 7 is still after all a beta OS.

Have you tried it on another machine perhaps? Or if you dual boot, on the vista or xp partition?

 

no i havent i lost my vista cd, so thats why i installed windows 7 because i was left with no os lol

 

LOL! Okay, well then.

 

yea i know, i just wanted to see if people with vista or xp, have the same performance issues with wow? or world in conflict

 

I will know in a couple of days how WoW runs on the P-6860 with an X7800 under Vista Home Premium (64-bit). I won't be able to bring it through a raid until Tuesday but I should be able to give a general overview of how well it will work.

 

Uhmm...i have WoW on my 6860 and i have done raids and it is SILK smooth at all times. Cod4 is silk smooth as well.

i have a t9300 so that might be it. But even when i did not have my cpu those games were no match for my 8800m.

 

Ah, good to know. I imagine that it probably is the t9300 helping you out. I have a p8400 in my M6400 and it gets pretty bad with all details turned up during raids. Luckily, with the x7800 coming for the P-6860, I think that should perform atleast to the level of the t9300, if not a little more.

 

Must be the Windows 7 beta OS.

I'm running WoW at over 100fps (single combat situations/Vsync off) and at least 60fps in battle grounds/raids, etc. Everything but ground clutter maxed.

 

yea that must be it, i get like 40fps during action, i never get over 100fps rarely

 

did you try wow before u had ur new processor? and it ran smooth?

 

i just played it again with the default options, which is 4aa and no aniostrphic, and sometimes i would fall to like 30fps even lower.

 

Are you running on battery?
Did you switch powermizer off?
Did you set your power plan to high performance?

 

I got my P-6860FX up and running and the X7800 seems to be making a world of difference. No more micro-stutters and framerates even in Dalaran are holding around 50fps while moving. This is all on Vista HP 32-bit at 1440x900 (full screen), all details maxed out except shadows turned down, and about 50mb of addons loaded. Made it through the Nexus also never seeing a drop below 45fps. Hopefully once I can do some stability testing and tryout 3.0Ghz it will get even better.

 

yea i do im sorry guys idk why i put wow i mean cod world at war not, world of warcraft lol

what are u guys getting in cod5?

 

In what parts does WIC run choppy?
I only have the demo on mine.

My settings include:
Physics med
Everything else max DX10
No AA or AF

I only go down to around 10-15 Fps in a really battle.
Normally I stay at 25-40 Fps.

I also run Cod4 Max staying around 50-80fps playing multiplayer. Never dropping below 40.

 

Yes, over 60FPS maybe 100 without the processor.

RAM is what WoW needs and a mid range GPU.

So just go back to VISTA X64 and install 182.05.

Don't, i repeat DONT INSTALL 185.20 lv2go, DOX or any other version of the driver. It crashes on Burnout and many of my other games.

BURNOUT ROCKS.

The 8800m GTS is only being used at about 75% of its full power with a T5500, a X7800 or T9300 is the most that is necessary for the 8800m GTS as they unleash it to its fullest. Anything higher will then run into a GPU BOTTLE NECK

For example

At native res 1440 900

Crysis CCC lvl4 T5500: 25FPS
Crysis CCC lvl5 T9300: 32FPS

 

what ive noticed is when i turn up aa or af i dont take that big of a performance hit, it pretty much performs the same lol, i have no idea why lol.

Yea cod4 was fine for me but cod5 lags at times.

Idk its i read the requirments on the WIC box and the recommended vid card was a low requirement, but i guess they give you a requirment to run the game ok. i guess 30-40fps is their standard lol

 

Its the cpu that limits the game. If you or I would get a x7800 then are min would be probably 20 fps.

 

probably no idea lol
