Let me see, have you removed the small Ubisoft video just before the loading of CoD?
If not, do so and it will probably solve your issues.

Yes, also tried to remove the welcome wmv, but it does not make a difference. Are there any other work arounds to raise the 3d clock?

Deleting the Ubisoft video works for me too, although the slow-down in game isn't as obvious with the new Beta patch. I have MSI Afterburner running all the time on a G19 screen and consequently noticed that it's not only the Ubisoft video that causes the problem. I sometimes see GPU 1 memory speed locked at 900MHz (I've not yet isolated which other software causes this but I believe I've seen posts here identifying the cause, it's usually got 1200MHz to use). I need to reset PC to unlock the memory frequency.

It's an XFX-5970-BE and this Beta patch runs lovely on it.
