PC Advice please?

[JG26_EZ]

Hey all, I'm no PC guru, want to get a new PC, and need some advice.

Currently I am unable to load missions with more than 8 or so planes in it, due to the mission simply not loading, the game crashing and/or locking up.

Just curious if anyone has a system similar that has the game running without crashing, locking up, etc,..,.?

ASUS 3rd Gen Intel Core i7-3770
16GB of DDR3-1600MHz RAM
3TB hard drive, 128GB solid state drive
AMD HD 7770 discrete graphics
ASUS Smart cooling system

Thanks in advance.

I have the k version of that processor (unlocked multiplier) and is pretty good. You have plenty memory and hard drive space.
The SSD is a very good idea and it makes a huge difference in speed in many applications.
I can't comment on the video card. I used Nvidia in my last three builds. How much video memory is on that card? Get one with at least two gigs of video memory. From what I've seen with a quick google check , it seems pretty weak.

SO i don't have a system close enough with that one to be able to say if it's good enough. The processor, hard drive, memory look good to go. Don't know what motherboard and power supply are in that box. That's pretty important this days.

+1 to what Jaws2002 recommends. Nvidia is my preference.

i don't know EZ, but your load problem is not from hardware.

i am able to load the game easely with a i5 2500k 8gb ram and a 5770. tough i use a 7870 now.

i can't help you fix your isue, but try and fix it before you move on to the shop.

anyway, i have a 7870, its rahter inexpensive this days, but i wouldnt buy it again. defenetly going for a nvidea nextime.

Thanks for your time peoples..

I have no idea what size that video card is.. I looked but seems there are no more details I could find.

Plus, I have always used Nvidia.. I thought it might be time for something different. Maybe I'll keep looking.

My system runs pretty well but I'd recommend an Nvidea GTX670 rather than my card. You should be creaming the game on that system, something is wrong!

I was previously running on a 5870...

the problem you are describing is not a pc hardware problem (unless you have a faulty fan on the gfx card, or your cpu is wrongly setup in bios and seriously underclocked etc), you most likely have some kind of software (or virus or malware) problem, or your CoD is setup is corrupted, has wrong preferences setting, or some of the patches were not installed correctly. you might also have something like a full HD with no cache file space left, or gfx driver problem. if your pc runs well for all other normal functions and games, why not do a complete fresh CoD reinstall first ?

the only possible hardware element in your system that is a bit less then ideal (but still doesn't explain or justify your problem) to have a high performance pc for CoD is your gfx card (which prob only has 1 gb of vram). you could simply upgrade the gfx card to a 2 or 3gb vram more current high end model from ati or nvidia (depending on your brand preference, performance of high end cards from both manufacturers will be very similar)

to change your whole pc over and buy a new one is way overkill for the performance issue you describe. if you dont have a more pc skilled person to help you identify the cause of your problem, people in various forums can try and talk you through it over a few days so you can sort it out. but if you have the money to burn and it doesnt bother you to do so, then you might not care, but its a bit of a waste

your new pc sounds great, but other then the better gfx card giving you a good performance bump (and is very worthwhile to do if you can afford a new 2 or 3 gb high end card), but the rest of the system elements will make less then 5% difference to what you have now imho

oh gz..

@ Zapatista... You and Farber have read into this the wrong way.
Not anywhere here in this thread did I post the specs that I had when I was having these problems.. I had an antique PC that needed to be updated and the only specs that I have put up, were packages that I was considering buying. I know for a fact that my problems with getting the game running in certain scenarios is/was due to my old PC.. ....PERIOD!

Thanks for trying to help, but as you can see, I'm slowly starting to spend more time explaining things that I didn't say, than things that I did


So how about it people???? Do I have to open/forward any ports for multiplay?

The answer is no EZ, see post 18...Steam does that, just say yes when Windows asks you "do you what to allow this program to make changes to the computer"

Ahh. Understood, thanks.
