I'm beginning to suspect that different people like different things.
You have the wisdom of Solomon as always Fearless, btw I have been meaning to ask for a while- How does CLOD run on your machine? I ask because you seem to have one of the lowest specced sigs around these parts......
Not too bad, although I've been on the road so much that the only real combat I've seen has been on this forum. Got about 4 kills so far, and a couple of unconfirmed.
My Q6600 is overclocked to 4 GHz (a water cooler thing, one of those self-contained units rather than the aquarium stuff) so it still represents a fair bit of CPU umph. The ATI 4890 was always a bit of a beast DX10-wise, so it can throw around the frames about 40 fps over water and 25-30 over land. Ironically COD seems to be aimed at previous gen GPU's like this, and probably doesn't take full advantage of the better cards out there just yet.
I haven't really gone back to London though (it's kind of like Ravenholm for CoD - 'We don't go to London'
) since the various patches so feel a bit behind the times to comment on performance.
