Call Of Duty : inside the engine

[TrinireturnofGamez]

COD uses D3D so Radeons have the advantage... the readme recommends Extra texture settings for 256mb cards.. but my radeon 128mb hasn't dropped below 20 FPS with it on yet..  

 D3D means pixel shaded water.... which means you'll be staring at the pretty water and dying alot.. COD is a RAM whore... it won't run smooth unless i control-alt-delete  60% of my processes [ 256mb PC133] .
  The physics engine is alot better than MOHAAs... even though KARMA and HAVOC are missing.... the games textures are not all bump mapped to hell [ ala HALO , DOOM 3 ] so they do not lag... but don't look all that great either .

Average FPS on PIII 850mhz , 256mb PC133 , Radeon 8500 128mb.
Settings : Textures all at Extra , res: 800x600x32 dynamic lighted world
  Looking at Floor : 140 FPS
   2-3 men shooting : 75-80 fps
   15-20 men shooting : 40-50 fps
   20 men shooting while huge explosions light the area : 20-25 fps

Do you think COD will run on a system with these specs.
2Ghz processor
512 ddr RAM
Nvidia Geforce 4MX 440 video card                    

[mangoseed_89]

it should but not as fluid possibly
but for better specs
i would suggest upgrading to 2.4Ghz processor                    

[TrinireturnofGamez]

actually you need a RADEON ........ or a geforce FX 5700 ultra .... the CPU can be o/c .... and maybe 256mb more ram                    

[coledraft]

So for best performance a raideon would be required...but would it run tolerable with geforce 4?                    

[mangoseed_89]

for optimum performance these days
get a radeon 9600 pro 128mb
though the price is steep                    

[TrinireturnofGamez]

radeons are alot better for D3D


 it will run quite well on a geforce 4 mx, on a TI it should be able to max out . make sure you have latest drivers for it .                    

[CRaZyAnGeL]

radeon 9000 series rather pricey lol
how wud a 7500 run?                    

[mangoseed_89]

but i wouldnt bother about upgradin upgradin upgradin all the time
i would rather save up some money
and buy a product from the U.S.
there is this system called the falcon frag box
it is said to be the best system for gaming
all you really have to do is upgrade the video card if you want superb performance
all the other componenets are said to be up to date and up to speed

COD also uses opengl so those nvidia card could take advantage than those ati card,thus less cpu compumsation(Meaning MORE FPS!!) and the graphics smoother,but probably not better than D3DX9...Man do u research properly,good grief...                    

[TrinireturnofGamez]

NITRATE YOU FOO! WHAT WEED YOU SMOKING??!!!


 you know weed have plenty nitrogen in de chemicals.. its C12H something and N something.



WHY YUH FEEL IT NEED DX9? WHY YUH TINK IT HAVE PIXEL SHADERS??!!!    

it IS Q3 engine but the OGL it used to use is replaced by D3D! [ newer , better graphics, alot of oooold cards don't have OGL ]                    

[Anonymous]

Foo?What the hell that suppose to mean?Hoss u really sounded very retarded there!
but anyhow the reason i quoted that because you seem to bring down anything made by
nvidia..Come on for christ sake,let and give nvidia a chance.They still own opengl
and they card aren't that bad,have u seen the any competitor in the video card market?
Guess Not..Cool!!Man u focusing as though D3D is the master of all graphics..When u going
to focus on the benefit of Opengl.Please don't be offend by my comments,if you're just prove
to me you all 12yrs old kid behind a computer,that has nothing to do in life...

I LOVE OGL ! OGL ENABLES ME TO KEEP HI FPS IN ANY GAME REGARDLESS OF MY P3 !. I LOVED NVIDIA JUST LIKE YOU DID! THERE WAS A BEAUTY IN EVERY FRAME THAT WAS BLEEDING QUALITY!

 THAT WAS 2 YEARS  AGO! THEY NOW SUCK! SINCE THE 9700 NVIDIA HAS BEEN MAKING LAME CHIPS AND CARDS

 YES THE 5950 IS THE FASTEST, BUT THE 5200 AND ALL THE CHEAP CARDS ARE SLOWER THAN BUILT IN MOTHERBOARD 3D!


 BUT COD USES D3D!                    

[Anonymous]

Actually COD have a option to chose D3D/Opengl..check around man..what built in motherboard?                    

[TrinireturnofGamez]

really? whats de console command? or is it an argument?                    

[Anonymous]

I don't have the slightest clue.Never had the game,but it say so in many review,do a google on it bond to find it..

 LOL!! ROFLMAO!    

   Nitrate i tell yuh already to stop smoking.. it bad fer your brain.

 up to now i did not see any OGL/D3D option in de normal menu, in de official website or de readme..... must be a mod thing

Hoss Quote from gamespot,"Call of Duty's graphics, somewhere down the line, are powered by the Quake III engine, "...CHeck the link yourself http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/callofdu...y/review-3.html

laters                    

[Anonymous]

So i guessing it's not a mod!!                    

[TrinireturnofGamez]

the physics, polygon limits, performance of the quake engine is inherited in COD... but they went around OGL 1.4s limitations by using DX9 , OGL 2.0 [ doom III] promises pixel shaders but is still unavailable


  THEY DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT USING OGL! so nitrate... before you want to tell anyone anything about a game..... play it first......


 whos the 12 year old now???
