Mate I've got the same situation with BF3, not sure I'd enjoy it even when rectified so when COD drops a bit in price and becomes redundant I'll add it to my collection. I've got stacks of games hardly touched, I am just a bit too curious for my wallet at times. You know what I mean?

Well, the Nvidia settings didn't work (crash & burn). So, I reset my in-game graphics back to low again. Anyone know where to find a 256MB Shader 3.0-supported NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT or ATI Radeon X1950 video card, Cheap?

Thanks Stomp !
I also, got NVIDIA support helping me find a card also. I'll probaly have around $300 to spend for the new card so I hope I'll find one that I won't have to replace in the next 5 years (lol).

You should be able to get a ripper, I think the current PCI-e slot version is upgrading so try to be future proof like you said. The versions are back compatible as far as I know so you should be able to use the new card with your current MoBo but do some research and don't let them sell you a redundant card.

This is getting confusing.
Here's the responce from NVIDIA : Quote:
Operating System: Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium, 64-bit (Service Pack 2) DirectX version: 11.0 GPU processor: GeForce 9600 GT Driver version: 290.36 DirectX support: 10 CUDA Cores: 64 Core clock: 650 MHz Shader clock: 1625 MHz Memory clock: 900 MHz (1800 MHz data rate) Memory interface: 256-bit Total available graphics memory: 3839 MB Dedicated video memory: 512 MB GDDR3 System video memory: 0 MB Shared system memory: 3327 MB Video BIOS version: 62.94.11.00.51 IRQ: 16 Bus: PCI Express x16 So, I guess what I'm wondering is since my cards power suppy is: Thermal and Power Specs: Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) 96 W Minimum System Power Requirement (W) 400 W Then, I would also have to upgrade my power suppy also to install the GeForce GTX 560 ?

Just a quick answer aside from card upgrade issues Dave.
Could actually be that the card is ok and the system is failing due to insufficient power delivery. You my have never maxed it out before! Do you have an addition power connector that goes to the card itself? Most PCI-e cards do require and additional power input 400w sounds minimal but could be enough if you disconnect peripheral devices to reduce the overall load http://archive.atomicmpc.com.au/foru...s=2&c=7&t=9354 |

Ignore comments about BF3 because COD: MW3 doesn't use the same resources.
The GTX 560 is what they recommend to anyone, they are not unbiased as their (Nvidia is a chinese company by the way) web page did the same to me but I can run the game BF3 just at lower settings. you need minimum specs not Recommended specs. |

Basic Power is through the PCI-e 16 port and then there should be a physical cable connection from the PSU itself and attached to the top of the card. |

I had an Nvidia GeForce GTX 8800 712MB and it needed 2 extra molex connectors. (not supplied) and I had a PC build where they intalled the Dual Channel RAM incorrectly...people make mistakes.

Lol, now I'm really confused !
My current NVIDIA card should meet the minimum requirement, right? I can run the COD:MW3 game successfully at the normal to low graphics setting with my current card. But ,I sacrifice video quality. Noting that my power supply is Maximum Graphics Card Power 96 Watts & the Minimum System Power Requirement is 400 Watts (still scratching my head), is there a card that will run both COD:MW3 & BF3 without having to change my power suppy again? And will run both games at Normal to high graphics setting?

My (attached) picture maybe alittle fuzzy, but it shows a connecting cable from my power supply to the back of the NVIDIA card.

Dave I may have missed it but your power supply is 400 watts, correct?
What resolution are you trying to play at? |

I've tried a couple different screen resolutions 1024x768 & 1680x1050.

do you know what your frame rate at 1680x1050 on medium is roughly?

I believe it's 60 hz.

FRAPS shows @ normal setting that my frame rate is 120 to 140 FPS.
Check my attached pic.

So why can't you up the settings to maximum?
