Hi Guys,

Just got COD WAW today and it is really really laggy. All the videos play fine (the introduction videos of the storyline) but as soon as the finish my screen goes black and nothing happens. I have Vista and upgraded video graphics and sound cards but not sure what they are exactly.

Thanks guys.

I know it has 3GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo and I know it has upgraded sound, video and graphics cards but I cant tell you what they are as I don't know. I might be able to find out I'll look into it later. Also its a Dell Studio 1537.

(I don't know what cards are in it because my parents bought it for me for Christmas and they got it customized for gaming)

Thanks Guys,

hmm dunno how you'd upgrade the video card on a laptop, all the ones I've ever seen are integrated onto the motherboard lol. Check out the minimum specs and cross reference to the gear you've got to give you an idea whether you're underpowered or not.

The one other thing I have seen on XPS laptops is that sometimes Windows causes them to 'throttle' the GPU clock when using it for games. One of my workmates found this out when he couldn't work out why Supreme Commander 2 was so laggy to scroll lol.

EDIT: i just noticed that it lists your video card as being a Radeon Mobility 3450 - my work computer has the desktop equivalent lol. It's not much of a games card at all. This is probably where your problem lies as far as I can see

The video card isn't up to scratch for that game. The video stories with run smooth on most computers, but when you play it, the video card must render each frame at a time.

To make do with what you have, download the latest drivers for that card here

Then download the latest DirectX drivers for that card here

Reboot the PC

Go into then settings/video options within the game and drop everything as low as you can. You will then at least get the game flow to stop stuttering and run smooth, but the detail will be down.

Turn off stuff like anti-aliasing and shadow effects.

From there, bump up the resolution settings bit by bit, try the game and continue rising the reso til you find the sweet spot.

Enjoy. The COD series is great. COD4 was the best IMO.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
