Low-End PC Running COD4 Smooth As Silk On Max

That's Right guys, just completed the demo and its BLOODY amazing, my specs are as follows:

single core 2.2ghz processor

Ati x850 256mb

1gb ram

Ran it on max settings @ 1280x1024 with 2x AA at 40-60 FPS, 50ish most of the time. and it dropped to around 30 at the end of the demo where the huge fight was going on, once it calmed down went straight back upto 45-60, the demo at NO time jagged or clunked or w/e you call it, was smooth as silk the WHOLE way through, even when i tried 4XAA it was fine, so to clear things up guys, even on low end this game kicks arse!!

Edit: oh and this comp is around 2.5 years old!

so hows the demo looking?

LOL...and your machine (like mine) doesn't even meet the Crysis' minimum requirements. :) It's nice to see developers making great looking games that play well on non-bleeding edge hardware.CodeMunki

WOOT! My PC is much better than that one! I guess my worries are gone!

Currently Dling the Demo... I gotta see for myself!

Find that hard to believe because thats the kind of FPS i get in firefights with the rig on my sig only dif is im running 1680x1050 but if it runs the way u say wow ^_^

The OP thinks that he runs the game on high settings, infact he doesn't.

In order to run CoD4 on High settings you need a SM3.0 capable card and the X850 is only SM2.0b cabable, therefor the game runs on Low/Medium settings (dependson the highest settings that the SM2.0 is supported).

Hey guys

i really want to play CoD4 but am wondering if i will have an enjoyable time playing it with this setup

(it is a laptop - HPdv9000t) and the specs are

2Ghz Core 2 Duo processor

512MB Nvidia Go 7600 (this is a laptop card so is different specs than the desktop 7600)

and 2 GB RAM

and if i can, on what general settings would i be pwning in this game? :)

Then it seems like these guys have discovered something that dozens of companies don't even understand.
Optimization.

AMD 64 XP 3000+, 2gig ram, 7800GS 256 AGP, Windows XP... I didnt try to turn on the AA but went pretty smooth. I don't think it's smooth as silk though.Am I doing somethingwrong here? I played with 1024 X 768 with most of the options on.

Is this game "Games For Windows Live" ???

I wanna know if I cant get achievements for my XBL account whilst still enjoying it on pc?

Swetness

first UT3 now COD 4 has really low reqouirments

yeah

Nvidea 6200SE Ram: 1,5.

Never thought of it but with my 6200SE I still can play this game, on safe mode though, but I've played CoD2 on safe mode either. So does it means 6200SE = 6600 ? I can't figure out how I else can play this pretty smoothly on lowest grpx. I will play this game a long long time

The graphics looked a lot more impressive in the screenshots.. I have everything on high too O.o

Although the gameplay was pretty damn fun.

Seriously this Demo is awesome, it's so well optimized for PCBlackstaff

Infinity Ward is great, and they still consider themselves PC developers, as they've never released a game not on pc.

It's good to hear it.

Developers did I good job on optimization. More games should be like it.

Hmm....I haven't followed the dev news of CoD4 that much. However I have read in a couple different places that CoD4 is still using the same engine CoD2 did (No doubt heavily modified to make things look prettier). If that's the case, then it wouldn't come as a suprise to run on a lower end rig. So can anybody confirm if it's still using the same engine? Normally I wouldn't believe it, but from the screenshots I've seen from the demo....Well, I'm not impressed.... Not nearly as good looking as the trailer made it out to be. SuperBeast

It's possible.

And the game looks MUCH better in action than it does with screenshots.

that's actually not too bad. personally i'm not going to bother attempting the play the game seeing how my system:

--------------------------------------

athlon xp 1500 running 1.3 Ghz

1gb ram

128mb radeon 9600SE

---------------------------------------

can barely run the original far cry. one could say my comp is super-mega-ultimate low end, but surprisingly games like doom 3 and hl2 were able to run on my comp all thanks to the optimized graphics engines that were implemented.

to make a tired point, i'm glad infinity ward is going down the same path of making sure everyone can play the game even on the less-than-stellar computers that some people still have. maybe when i don't have 3 midterms coming up i'll d/l the demo and let you guys know how it runs on a comp like mine.

i'm just glad it's infinity ward doing this game though. to this day i still play the original call of duty :lol:

I HATE YOU GUYS.

I have a reasonably good system but I can barely run the game at 1680x1050 with no AA and get 30 fps.

An X1950 XT, E6400 and 2 gb of ram should do better than that, well, that's what I thought. I've never gone above 40 and I sometimes dip to 20. It's not overheating and I got the fan runing at 100%

i ran this game onhigh on my sisters 8400gs :|

the game is very meh. Some good parts, but not enough to convince me to purchase

I have been a COD fan since the orginal release. Iv been extremely worried that my pc wont run cod4 on lowest.

Pentium 4 2.6 ghz

Nvidia 6200 pci (not pci e yes i no it sucks dell was nice enough to rip out my agp slots!)

768 mbs of ram

so do i have any hope??? My proc is descent!!

ran the game on max settings at 1280x1024 with P4 HT 3.0GHZ 1GB Ram and a XFX7950GT 512MB... i was stunned that it ran it so well... has developers suddnely got some new optimizing software or somethin?? cause i can run MOH:Airborn, Bioshock and World in conflict at the top settings and my pc is preety meheddy96_1

The mechanics of the game haven't changed all that much since COD1, which is why the team have got it up and running on fairly modest CPUs. People really overestimate the importance of CPUs compared with GPUs (of which yours is pretty quick) in some games. COD2 ran well on an athlon XP 1600 (with a 6800 ultra)- trust me I had one!
