very odd issue. make sure you have the newest drivers for all of your componentsAdamPA1006

Yeah, it's a driver or card issue, maybe compatibility but I've read others having my MB/Card combo and it works well. gonna try to roll back the driver to the previous version, the one DLed is very new. Card did noty come with the driver software so I aghve been hunting for it online. I goofed something up. I loaded Warhammer 40K and got about 15 FPS, not exactly a graphics intensive game so it's not a software issue with COD4. Argh.

I'm getting from 8-20 FPS at 4 and 2x Anti Aliasingand it actually got worse when I turned anti aliasing off. weird.

Are you saying my problem might be that the system is too fast?!?

Just built a computer and I am underwhelmed by COD 4 performance. Figured the set up would kill it. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. Any ideas out there?

Set Up

Intel i7 Quad 2.67 Ghz

ASUS ENGTX285 1 GB

6 BG DDR3

Raptor 10K RPM

EVGA 132-BL-E758A1 ATX Intel Board

Running vista Ultimate 64

Tried dropping to 2x Anti Aliasing, but I don't think I shouldhave to with this set up.

[QUOTE="jsgx3"]Retail, your DVD copy of the game will not lose it's internet connection, it will not go out of buisness, it will not be corrupted by your computer, a virus, a hacker, it will not stop halfway through a download, it won't stop offering your game because of copyright issues, or licensing or buisness agreements. I refuse to buy a game that is only avaialble on-line, that is an automatic no-go for me.foxhound_fox

I'm sure your confidence in Steam 'never' shutting down is music to their ears. But I can assure you that they can go under, any buisness can. They could even decide to shut their doors tomorrow for no reason whatsoever. Then where are you? As for backing up the game, I don't need to do that if I buy it retail for essentially the same price now do I? It's already backed up, and I don't have to buy a disk to do so, I bought it when I bought the game retail. As for them never stopping to offer a game, that is not the same as saying it can't happen, because it can. They have a good deal right now, but this is not to say it can't happen. I have tried steam like actions before, and I don't care for them for all the reasons I've noted. I try to limit my sending of credit card info as much as possible. As for the games stopping when losing the connection being the connections fault, that is faulty logic. If I had a game that did not require and internet connection I woyuld not have the problem, so it is by definition steams fault if my game stops because it requires a connection based on being bought from them.

[QUOTE="BlueBirdTS"]Isn't an updated version of the Witcher going to be released later this year?Arronaxxx

Actually, I would recommend TC to wait a bit and buy it, or buy an old version and download the patch for free...
The game is great, but the translation is horrible, they're gonna retranslate it, so it's worth the wait (unless you speak polish, 'cause polish version was a masterpiece).

Actually, the wonky translation was one of the more endearing parts of the game. Polish the tranlation and you might start to see all the other flaws, I'd advise the company against it myself. Use the resources on a new game, this one is a dead end at this point.
