Yeah I had a go, went to 1280 x 960 *max option* and it ran smoothly until it got to bushes and sniping through the bushes. Don't want to go back to 1024, now that I like the 1280 res lol.
I'll give the overclocking a go tonight after I have done my sport activities for the evening. Got the settings that I require, just need to get that extra FPS, and problem solved... hopefully. If it doesn't satisfy me, I'll go back down to 1024 to save the hassle .
First things first. *puts a Harjun free zone sign infront of topic*
I acquired Call of Duty 4 the day after its release. And I really enjoy the game, to the point that I want to start all over again. And I noticed on wikipedia that the graphics on that screenshot had more additional features that I would have turned off in my game. Shadows, and such etc, tiny things, but would require the CPU and Graphics card to work harder.
I got the game in 1024 x 768 Resolution, with X4 AA, with automatic texture settings (they were on high settings) And the game runs nicely. But don't have the other tiny features, because it may lag the game up.
I tend to go for the 8 series graphics cards next year when the DX10s are out, which was why I bought a 7 series *this card was a bargain, so I bought it* to keep me at bay until next year.
And I thought of overclocking today, because of the winter season, I have my PC literally right next to a window, and with the fan sucking in the cold air when if I wanted to open the window.
What would I need to do to overclock my graphics card slightly, to use the other additional details and prevent the game from lagging? With a lot of cold air breezing through the window, and plenty of fans to suck it in, I shouldn't have any problems with temperature wise. Graphics card have a warning message when it comes to cards becoming too hot don't they?
