OK, we are coming forward....
#1. I am sorry, with 512MB VRAM you have to stay low. 1024x will be good, WINDOW MODE is a must for the time being (in order to check the performance) you may be able to go higher. The trick is easy: run in Window mode, use the mouse cursor to extend the window the way it suits you. CoD will save automaticaly the resolution to its settings. Your VRAM is your biggest challenge, you have a MINIMUM System (because of your GPU) so minimum is what will work for you (so setting things to HIGH is taking chances). If you want to experiment, you need a tool like GPU-Z or GPU-Observer in order to monitor your VRAM: Is it reaching its MAX, you are in trouble (=stutter). #2. If you use WinXP then forget about high resolutions, this game needs Win7-64bit This is the best invesment you can do (besides investing a hell of a lot of money for a good GPU). Besides WinXP is using DX9 as far as I know...  @KG26_Alpha: I am sorry Alpha, this beats me; How will you be able to run CoD in DX10 mode on an Operating System that does not have DX10 ???? You rewrite computer history here... #3. I do not know what expert Storebor is but he is for sure no CoD expert What CoD does with multi core CPUs I wrote you before so I waste no more but, as a picture is worth more than 1000 words, here is your CoD with eight cores running (4+4virtual). This is a screenshot 3840x Desktop resolution, move sliders to the right to see the game  Look at the amount of VRAM (Memory Used) in GPU-Z, imagine how fast your GPU reaches its limit... I hope this helps, Happy Flying! Last edited by 335th_GRAthos; 04-26-2011 at 09:27 PM.

I think people get irate when their computer meets minimum specs, but then the game fails to run properly. ('Properly' meaning at decent framerates and decent levels of detail.)
The thing is though, that over and over it's been demonstrated in PC games that 'minimum spec' is not something to bank on. If it's minimum spec, the game is going to run badly. Maybe with some tweaking it will run better, but it will never run well with the eye candy enabled. You pays your monies and makes your choices. The code isn't optimized that's true, but older rigs will struggle regardless and that's just life.

"DirectX 10 ships with and is only available with Windows Vista and later; previous versions of Windows such as Windows XP are not able to officially run DirectX 10-exclusive applications. Rather, programs that are run on a Windows XP system with DirectX 10 simply resort to using the code from DirectX 9.0c, the latest version for Windows XP computers, although there are unofficial projects to port DirectX 10 to Windows XP."
According to Dxdiag I am running Direct X 10 but it seems it has no effect. Btw Storebore is a Programmer, he's part of the Aviator Mod team and developes some of their most advanced code like their Air-to-air Rocket code in the 1956 Pack.

Hold on a sec The Op's video card is a Dx9 card 9800GT how does a Dx9 card run under Dx10 ? It dont (properly) Install Dx9 on your XP system How do you expect to get correct CoD results with non standard Dx versions then come to the forums moaning your ass off its unplayable ......................... anyway........... I showed how to use DX9 in CoD conf files as its set to DX10 default a few posts back. What's all the other posts for ????? Here it is again. For DX9 Graphics cards you need to make some changes to the conf.ini's conf.ini Render=D3D10_0 changed to Render=D3D9 Copy this line D3D9 Enter here as below. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover [BOB] Render=D3D9 Also in C:\Users\Steve\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover [BOB] EpilepsyFilter=0 Render=D3D9 [window] DepthBits =24 StencilBits=8 DrawIfNotFocused=0 SaveAspect=0 Render=D3D9 < replace the DX10 line width=1680 height=1050 ColourBits=32 FullScreen=1 ChangeScreenRes=1 Read more: http://ikg26.proboards.com/index.cgi...#ixzz1KeqqPu1L If I'm not getting what's being asked here then my bad I suppose. .

Go here and click Specifications : http://www.nvidia.com/object/product...9800gt_us.html Verhängnis, I strongly recommend you upgrade to Windows 7, all your problems will disappear and the game is other in DX10. You should put that card under DX10.

Thxz for the correction. When I was testing a 9800GTX+ I got much better fps results with DX9 settings than DX10 in CoD My point was to the OP that he should run CoD under XP with DX9 Your suggestion of getting Win 7 wont solve the poor performance of the GPU he has.
