FPS COMPARISON 1.02.14821 vs 1.03.15527 @ 09-08-2011

An interesting thing regarding CoD performance is that it seems more CPU limited than I had thought, at least in my own empirical test I did a while ago when upgrading my rig... Below is a copy from an old post (from May so two patches away?) :



Below is a rather interesting study of what affects CoD performance. I used my old rig, my old rig with my new GPU and finally my new rig...

The "rules":

* CoD settings to "default" high settings with no AA, SSAO or anti epilepsy.
* Start the Fraps benchmark as soon as the track has started, and stop it the second the track is done. Don't forget to turn off "Stop benchmark after 60 seconds"!
* I used 1680x1050 resolution

On my old system I got this:

Core2Duo E8400@3.3 - GTX275 - 6 GB DDR2 800Mhz - P45Mb

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
6851, 218058, 9, 69, 31.418


Then my OLD rig with my NEW GPU - only gained 1.9 fps in average! Sure CPU limited - but the weird thing is that both cores are never above 70% load, most of the time at ~30-60%

Core2Duo E8400@3.3 - GTX580 - 6 GB DDR2 800Mhz - P45Mb

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
7230, 217293, 13, 70, 33.273


And then - my new rig in full glory (same GFX card as above but massive fps gain):

i7 2600k @ 4.5 - GTX580 - 8 GB DDR3 1600Mhz - P67 Mb

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
14867, 216997, 22, 168, 68.512

All on Windows 7 x64
