So, I just ordered a 9700 Pro

[NightRaven]

Minutes later, I read articles claiming that ATI cards, even the high end ones, dont run Call Of Duty for crap. Is ATI bound to fix this?

 

[AMDBarton2500]

Are you serious??? You have any links to that???

I just ordered 9600pro.....with Call of Duty

Can someone confirm this? Is this true?

 

[Robor]

Where did you read this? I got CoD yesterday and it plays great on my 9800 "pro" (flashed non-pro) with all eye candy on @ 1152x864. I've only played about 30 minutes so far and haven't tried any AA/AF yet but to be honest it looks great without it.

Anyway, I'm guessing it will play great on a 9600Pro/9700Pro as well.

 

[McArra]

:Q Where did you read that??

 

[NightRaven]

I'll have to look it up and post some links...

Some people who have 9800 Pros were claiming that they had horrible frame rates during the Stalingrad campaign. I am currently using a Geforce 3, and have had no problems running the game.

Hey what's up Robor? Where did you pick up COD? I was hoping it would be listed on sale in the Sunday ads but no such luck thus far. I plan on picking it up prior to my upcoming LAN party 8 NOV 03. I hear the multiplayer is a whoot? This is one is definitely in the running for game of the year provided cough cough HL2 doesn't show up for the Holidays. I hear valve has been burning the midnight oil since their security incident.

Chck this thread from Software forums about CoD and ATi cards

I got my CoD from Babbages. Yeah, it was $49.99 and normally I wouldn't have paid full retail but I've had a $32 credit burning a hole in my pocket so it only cost me $20-something. I was going to spend it on HL2 or Doom3 or UT2k4 but since they're all scheduled for a 2004 release I figured what the heck. I've heard it's short so I put it on the max (Veteran) difficulty and started last night. I played for around 30 minutes and I love it so far. Good graphics, excellent sounds, very exciting and immersing, and so far either it's not easy or I just suck. I'm sure I'll play a little more tonight. Hoping one of my buds will grab a copy so I can try out the multiplayer with a friend.

I've got a 9800 non-pro flashed to a pro. I run it at either default speeds or bump it up to 398 core & 348 mem. I was playing at default speeds last night with no problems at all (other than the virtual CDROM from Nero/Alcohol 120% messing up the safedisc copy protection thing).

I haven't played MoH in a while but from what I remember of it and what I played last night CoD seems more "realistic" than MoH. By that I mean it feels like you're really part of the unit. And the sounds are just amazing. I was using my headphones so I could really crank it up. Plus, from what I understand there's no "sniper town" map like in MoH. I quit playing MoH because of that map. Stupid AI characters kept getting sniped. :disgust: :|

I played and beat Call of Duty using a stock 9500 Pro and the experience was pretty good. Catalyst 3.9
Did notice slowdowns at some points... especially walking through grass or something...
just ordered a 9700 Pro.. we'll see if there's any changes...

 

[Corporate Thug]

COD runs like a dream on my rig

 

[screw3d]

Well, I have an ATI 9700pro and it runs perfectly too. Omega drivers BTW.

 

[zodder]

Runs perfectly on my 9800 Pro (Cat 3.9).

 

[NYHoustonman]

Both demos work perfectly on my 9800 Pro.

 

[Malladine]

Flawless on my 9800 non-pro

 

[Genesys]

the demos worked great on my P4 2.0GHz w/ 9700 Pro
now they run even better with my P4 2.6C w/ 9700 Pro

 

[Bateluer]

FiringSquad.com just did an article about CoD. They benched it at a plethora of ATI cards, and they are currently working on benching it on Nvidia cards.

 

[high]

I run CoD at 1280x1024 on my 9200 oc'd to 270/220 with everything on highest detail but no AA/AF and it runs perfectly fine. Little more intense game than BF1942

 

[dsaewra]

I think most of the issues with CoD were due to catalyst 3.8 drivers.

 

[DarkKnight]

I have a radeon 9800 non pro and in call of duty with 4XAA and 8XAf the game was choppy as hell, but in their article the card ran at 64.9fps (1290X1024X32)!!! I have omega catalyst 3.7 drivers and accoriding to the all the benches i've look at, there isn't a big difference between the 3.7s and the 3.9s. how can i be getting such low performance????

 

[DarkKnight]

just fixed it, i had fastwrites on. when i disable it, the game is smooth. wierd, i thought fastwrites were good.
