Lower resolution one step down,be shure SSAO is off, put trees ,
buildings on mid, building details one step down and maybe effects also.

For the throttle problem uncheck antropomorfic in the realism settings

Thanks for the help - surely I should be able to run higher than medium though - as stated on the hardware requirements -

"1 GB DirectX 10 compliant video card (NVIDIA Geforce 8800 / 9000 / 250 / 460 series or better / ATI Radeon HD 4850 / 5000 / 6000 series or better)"

I'm sorry but I just don't buy that my card is at the minimum - it runs much higher games much more smoothly than COD runs. Is there something wrong with the game?
