COD4 Graphics Settings for faster FPS Options

[Old Man Mike]

If you are having problems with your video card keep up the FPS, you may want to try these settings:

Video: 1024 x 768
Screen Refresh Rate: 60 Hz
Aspect Ratio : Auto
Anti-aliasing: 2x

Sync Every Frame: No
Dual Video Cards: No (unless you have two, of course)
Shadows: Yes
Specular Map: No
Depth of Field: No
Glow: No
Number of Dynamic Lights: Off
Soften Smoke Edges: No
Ragdoll: No
Bullet Impacts: Yes
Model Detail: Normal
Water Detail: Low

UNDER TEXTURE SETTINGS

Texture Filtering: Bilinear
Anisotropic Filtering: lowest (slide to left)
Texture Quality: Manual
Texture Resolution: Normal
Normal Map Resolution: Extra
Specular Map Resolution: Extra

Show your FPS and Lagometer by the following command in console:

cg_drawFPS simple (I believe cg_drawFPS 1 also works)
cg_drawFPSLables 1
cg_drawLagometer 1

Set your Max FPS and Max Packets per frame:

com_maxfps 85 (or 60 if you are not keeping up well at 85)
cl_maxpackets 60


All the above can be changed without effecting your rank.
If you have any other recommendations that you have tested, please pass them on and I will update this list.

Wallace, typically when it says you're losing key packets, it means your internet connection is flaking out at that time. Could be just bad internet routing into that particular area where the server is located. Anyhoo, yes, then if you are losing key packets while pb is trying to take its random screenshots of you, they will turn out blank, 'cause it can't get the screenshots.
