COD2 Artifacting

Well I could try fraps. Also, I think I have narrowed it down to vsync. If I have vsync enabled then I get perfect looking gameplay. Without it, there artifacts are all over the place. The only problem now is that I don't think I can live with the lagginess vsynce introduces. I am using...

COD2 Artifacting

Alright so I have recently been encountering a problem with COD2. I get massive artifacting on certain maps. Basically it looks like huge triangles and graphical error all over the screen. They come and go but they mostly happen when I look around too fast. I thought for sure this was...

Should I Upgrade?

I am always wanting to be on the cutting edge of technology and I think its time for me to sharpen up again. Take a look at the rig in my sig. Would I really notice much difference if I went to a X6800 setup. Would like to only change out the MB, CPU, and MEM. I play games like COD2...

Upgraded from 3500+ Winnie to X2 4400+

Well my original thoughts were that COD would directly benefit from the dual cores. But mostly, since I run a lot of other programs while gaming, if figured on core could take on the other stuff and one could be dedicated to COD. This, I thought, would make a pretty big difference. Guess I...

Upgraded from 3500+ Winnie to X2 4400+

Well like I said...I dont like the "laggyness" i get with dx9. I get like 60-70FPS usually but the game seems less fluid as it does with dx7 enabled. I have no idea why COD2 needs so much horsepower other than the fact that it was written like $hit for dx9.

Upgraded from 3500+ Winnie to X2 4400+

As the title says, I just upgraded to a dual core proc from a single core version. Went with the 4400+ because of the speed and cache. Basically I got two of what I had with double the cache. The main reason for this was to help out with my SLI setup. I was noticing some major isses when trying...
