Hey guys i just found this forum and i was looking for some help!
:)

I just bought Call of Duty World at War
its a sick game , but my computer can only run it on LOW Settings and its not as many FPS as i want it to run.....

Here is my setup,

Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

3 GIG ram

GeForce 8400 GS 256mb


Now When i lag it seems to be when i get in big open areas or Smoke/Explosions.

But when im in a Room it doesnt?!?

So if i upgrade the Graphics Card will it solve the Problem?


If you could help me Go easy on me im a noob :p
 
your cpu is fine, although a mild overclock to 2.8/3 ghz wouldnt hurt :) but ur right, its your graphics card thats letting you down. rooms in a game are alot easier fun a card to render than a large area with many objects while there are shader effects like smoke and light. a very good option to keep it cheap would be a 4850 or even a 4830 which should max out the game.
 
Yeah I had this card too and ran CoD4 around 40~fps

I have a 8600GT and I'm always around 125~fps

Just get a better video card and you'll be in gamin heaven, it all depends on your PSU and budget though :/
 
regardless what psu he has a 4850 shouldnt be too much of a hassle to run with the system he has.

man, if u can run 125 fps with 8600gt the 4850 will kik ***
just to be save, either post a newegg link of ur psu or tell us the amperage rating on the side sticker.
 
yea its a HP i didnt build it myself :(

The fan in question is a FoxConn DC brushless Fan Model#: PV902512L
DC12V 0.16A
It's 3-5/8 in. (92mm) square x 1 in. (25mm)

thats the PSU and i belive its 300 watts
