My rig (i was amazed i actually could play it on everything HIGH and resolution MAX Runs at max 80 fps, min 34 fps: CPU: Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ VGA: Club 3D 7600GS 256 MB RAM:1.5 GB XP professional Actually every game i play exceeds my PC's stats. It's the video card thats doing the magic. If it is supported the game will run.
My rig right here. Runs the game at a good 80fps. GIGABYTE MA770T-UD3P Motherboard Phenom II X2 Callisto @3.2 ghz (which I unlocked to Quad Core 3.6ghz) XFX Radeon 4870 HD 1GB Antec Basiq 550W PSU Plextor DVD Superdrive G.SKILL Ripjaws 1600mhz Ram Windows 7 Home Edition 64 Bit

I don't see the problem people have with joysticks, they are more or less like mice only they flick back to center after movement.

Runs adequately @ 7680 x 1600 on 3 x 30" Displays using Eyefinity on my Radeon HD5970. It is truly an experience that cannot be reproduced on any console.
Runs good on my AMD64 2x 4600+ 2 gigs of ram that i payed 14 bucks for each, an nvidia 9500 gt with 512 mb and a 80 gig hard drive. I need to upgrade.
Got given it as a early present,single players ok but muliplayer blows.I used to play peer to peer 10 years ago on the PC. Now I remember why it sucked so much,lol I NEED TO PLAY ON DEDICATED SEVERS. I have a Ps3 but you can't beat PC multiplayer games with DSS(Dedicated Stand alone Severs) So I'm back to playing MW1.
Although I'm a strong PC gamer I agree with thunderx18 if the next XBOX supports Keyboard + Mouse + Easy use with any resolution monitor I'll leave the PC for games. Other solution is streaming games like Gaikai, OTOY or OnLive that "promises" play any game on any old PC or Mac. Developers making games with high requirements,Nvidia, AMD and Intel have been destroy the PC for games
Im realy happy that iw has optimized the game. It runs on my 9600gt max settings 60fps+ easily
to thunderx18, agreed on your comment that consoles are great on saving money. I feel you there I use to be a huge PC enthusiast but a few years back the whole PC thing got way out of hand. Graphic Cards were coming out every 3 months and they were asking 400+ for some. It goes to show you how greedy these manufacturers are at that time and now most graphic cards are not near that price range anymore. PC companies have been overcharging us for sometime now.
I run MW2 on a ASUS G72GX with Core 2 Duo 2.53 gh 6gb ram with a geforce 260m at the highest laptop resolution (1600x900) everything on extra with AA on the highest settings. Laptop runs it very smoothly.
@ andrew_ribbons to be honest, adding the GTX295 isn't really going to add much. you really can't compare current gen to last gen. though the 295 is currently nvidias flagship, it's not the chip to compare to the 5970 or 5870. once the GT300 comes out then you can compare the flagship models. the 295 should only be compared to the 4 series ATI cards. otherwise it's no different from comparing a flagship i7 to a flagship Q9 series. the 295 was designed to wipe the floor with the 4 series, not the 5 series. thats the job for the GT300 - if it's up to the task!
@ shankygreat you're totally right. 5770 is like 110 quid and it's the latest dx11 gen from ATI. plus you have the option of adding another one (if your motherboard supports it) Have you seen 5770 crossfire benchies? they are outstanding for 220 quid!
My game with everything on (x2 AA) @1680x1050 plus bottom texture settings on High manages on average 120 using Fraps, but this depends on the levels which goes from 70fps to 300fps! This is a console port which explains the big dips as MW1 was much smoother and I put everything on max to average 240fps. Where you get numerous enemies on-screen, the fps hovers around 70fps and can feel laggy to pull off quick shots in tight spots. Visuals are great as always but I would like to know for sure what GPU + RAM you need to run Extra Settings. For High I would say its 512MB-1GB, then Extra is 1GB+ for smooth play when they become more commonplace at more affordable prices. - CPU: Intel QX6700@3.2Ghz - Mobo: Gigabyte X48 DS5 - GPU: Gigabyte 4870 HD 512MB DDR5 (CrossFire) @780MHz/1010Mhz - RAM: 8GB Corsair DDR2 800Mhz 4-4-4-15
I have an Amd Athlon 64 5000+ ( 2.6ghz x2) 2 gb ddr2 , nvidia gforce 9600 gt (512 ddr3 , 256 b) and I run Cod 6 on 1650x1050 with all the details on high but without antialiasing, without problems.
My rig) and I'm proud of this my build))) - Asus Rampage II Extreme Motherboard, - Intel Core i7 975 3.33GHz (Nehalem) Extreme Edition @ 4.6GHz, - Kingston HyperX XMP 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 2000MHz + Fan, - X2 Crossfire XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 XTX XXX Edition 1024MB GDDR5 @954Mhz/1100MHz
@SarjuS, fair comment, i can appreciate that. Might i add it's nice to see Gamespot staff participating in forums too! This would be the first time one of you guys has commented on something i've said in about...6 years of activity? :P
@all console fanboys, even sub 100$ video cards(9600,9800,4670s) have better graphics then any console anyday, so any game available on all consoles is always preferable on PC rather then ps3 or 360s. Consoles just score over pc due to their exclusive games.
@ isaac_LNX you can play them on 8600GT atleast but better go with 9500 or 9600 or 9800GT. all of them are below 100$ right now. obviously 9500 is cheapest at 65-70$ right now. 9800 being 95-105$. @hakan768 the only reason can be ur video card.
Because they're only using 3gb of ram...you don't need a 64 bit OS until you go over 3 or 4gigs. 32 bit Op. systems can only address a little over 3 gigs, given thats all their system has, they have no need for a 64-bit OS(running a 64-bit OS with only 3 gigs can hurt your performance as well). BUT that being said, 6 gigs and a 64 bit OS is optimal for an i7 (socket 1366) rig.
if there was keyboard and mouse for consoles, i would switch to consoles forever. but sadly mouse and keyboard would pwn the people using controllers. and thats a fact. mouse is way better than that analog stick for aiming.
The world used to be a better place when Call of Duty 4 had a good solid multiplayer unlike this one
The only thing that sucks about Consoles is its not as easy as playing on a PC. Mouse, Keyboard... thats all consoles need and they'll cruise. But in the end I'll just use my Xbox 360 for gaming, and my PC for PC exclusive games. I use to update my PC every year. Obviously that's not very practical, so now that I got an Xbox 360 - and with that, now my new machine has a use-by date of 5 years. Consoles is an effective, money saving approach since you don't need to update the things to handle newer games. So. My wish is that the next gen Xbox (I think microsoft blabbed 2012?) has a mouse and keyboard. If that happens, buh-bye PC gaming. But that's me - each to their own
i think both console and pc gaming is amazing but for shooters I go with consoles because I don't want to spend money to upgrade and just because more people have it. I love strategy games on PCs tho.
> > Mainboard : Asus M3A78-CM > Chipset : AMD 780 > Processor : AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3800MHz > Physical Memory : 4096 MB (2 x 2048 DDR2-SDRAM ) > Video Card : ATI Radeon HD 4850 Series Runs good.. =P
I love the guy sitting against the truck eating a chocolate bar, just look at the truck and you will see him, no joke! The screenshot above shows the truck and the guy, he at the door, :)
i am running a 8800GTS,intel quad core 2.8ghz and i run the game at 1440x900 which you will see has minor difference between 1920x1200 and 1440x900 which will allow you for ultimate awesome high FPSage haha. 1440x900 also allows me to max out settings and suffer little to none FPS loss compared to 1920x1200 haha
to xtreme, I agree pc gaming is much better but where r u getting ur info about the killzone2 to crysis comment, ive never heard anyone say that killzone two has better graphics, and if anyone ever does then they quite frankly should not be allowed to game
I'm a console gamer, and I have a PC that runs cod4 on 800x600 with high detail textures, and only about 28-40 fps on average. And I shall say it once, and will not say it again(for now): As long as you got a good PC, PC gaming owns console gaming. MW2 is just drop shot and nube tube anyway, so its not that great. Most games on 360 can be played on PC, and so many of the ps3 fanboys just cant admit that crysis has better graphics than killzone 2. Console gaming isn't too bad, its pretty good, but PC is definitely above all.
@andrew_ribbons If I had the GTX 295, it'd be in there. Regardless, it's not really a mystery where it would place. We all know the game runs more than well enough on a single GTX 280, tossing in a GTX 295 wouldn't teach us all that much more. The video card list is meant to give readers a rough idea of how far up the ladder they need to upgrade to get certain playable experiences - on Modern Warfare 2, it's pretty obvious you don't need much run it at high quality and super high resolutions.
I may be a console gamer but everyone should know pc graphics will always look better especially since all games are made using a pc anyway but then again if ur pc is not up to part he/she may loose out that lol
