How to get more FPS in Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare

[Atom™]

Hi there guys! Just made a video tutorial on how to get more FPS in CoD4. It does help a lot as I myself am using it! And I know many people out there who would love to get better FPS on CoD4 without as much spending a penny [like myself]. Also, it helps on older PC's too.

Be sure to drop a like and a sub if the video helps you out!

Edit : Updated links as I've integrated my gaming channel into my designing channel so as to make it easier for me. Thanks for all the views. Do sub my designing channel now for more updates.

If your pc struggles to run cod4 get a new one...

best trick is to turn down the resolution...should just buy a good gfx card tho

there are plenty of tricks lol. heck most pc can play this game with higher fps. just it is set to be capped at 85 fps. so you have to open console and set it to max 125 fps. turning of vsync as well. and many things. both thru console and just graphics settings period.

i run it with a laptop. all i own. and its 6 years old now. most laptops if you buy them now will run the game fine.

i have a core 2 duo 2.5 ghz, 4 gig ram (windows 7, 64 bit). 9800mGT graphics card with 512 mb. and 2 gig of ram dedicated as well to help it out. and i run the game fine.

well, i got Intel GM4500HD and NO DEDICATED RAM, and i bought this around 3 years ago.......

That should be able to help some users, I find a phew console commands to help your performance plus your network a lot easier to apply.

Performance tweaks, type in console:

com_maxfps 250
(sets the max fps in game)

r_drawdecals 0
(Another helpful command is "r_drawdecals", set it to 1 for on and 0 for off. Its off by default, and don't be surprised if you turn it on then have to turn it off to get into certain servers. It basically cleans up some of the random paper and trash on the ground, and gives you an fps boost. But some servers want you to have bad fps and wont let you in unless its set to 0(note that the other commands will work fine on any server)

r_drawsun 0
(Disables the sun and a bunch of effects that is causes saving you a few fps)

r_drawwater 0
(Disables water effects)

cg_brass 0
(Turns off shell ejection. Not having to render them should send a few more fps your way, a good addition to your CoD4 config)

sm_enable 0
(Turns off unique Shadows ingame, it boosts FPS more than most commands)

r_multigpu 1
(can add more FPS)

r_cachemodellighting 1
(can add more FPS)

r_cacheSmodellighting 1
(can add more FPS)

r_aaAlpha 0
(remove the anti-aliasing / smudge effects, this can free up more FPS also)

r_texfiltermipmode 2
(Turns it to bilinear filtering, which should give you the best fps)

r_rendererPreference 0
(to use Shader Model 2.0 instead of 3.0 which will increase fps for those people using old videocards)


Network tweaks:

rate 25000

cl_packetup 1
(Duplicates packets send between player and server - players with a good connection and no packet loss should use 0, players with packet loss should use a higher number (0-5) most players use 1-2)

ping
0-20 packetdup 0
20-40 packetdup 1
40-60 packetdup 2
60-80 packetdup 3
80+ packetdup 5

cl_maxpackets 100
(Maxpackets next, this command usually helps people who have good fps but bad hit registration. Default is 30 if your fps is set to 125 you should set maxpackets to this "/maxpackets 100)

snaps 30
(This command tells your cod4 server how many times to update positions of players, bullets ect per second. Default its 20 setting it to "/snaps 30" should make movement look smother and hits register better)

Misc:

cg_fov 80
(Next up is the field of view command. FOV(field of view) is basically how much you can see on your monitor at one time. The higher the number the more you can see, which will give you a huge advantage over those who don't use this command. Default is 65 max is 80, to change it bring down your console and type "cg_fov 80)

For 90 FOV in Promod use cg_fovscale 1.125

cg_drawfps 1
(diplays fps in top right corner)

cg_drawlagometer 1
(diplays a network graph in the bottom right corner)

Hope this helps some new comers xD.

console commands are a pain in the ass. u gotta do them almost everytime u log on! :/

[cad80_99]

some, others seem to stick. also you can manually change a lot of the things that work in the game file itself.

best thing is to try the console command and see if it helps any. if so then take note and change it in the game file.

one thing you must watch out for is some things need to be set to a certain thing in order to play in some servers. as some servers require you to have certain settings or you get kicked by punkbuster automatically.

and i find it best just to use maxfps 125.

[Letsdance:.]

You only have to apply the console commands once,if you uninstall the game then yeah you have to put them in again.

Plus 125fps is better for Promod since you can do certain strafe jumps further that help you rush to spots faster.The pro's would toggle between 250fps and 125fps to give them an advantage in certain rush spots/jumps/nade spots.

If your pc can reach 250 then go for it, any higher and most servers will kick you.

[cad80_99]

and most pc can reach 125 and some even close to 250 if you look up in sky and outboard. normally just up works.

Yeah if you look in certain areas depending on your pc the fps can increase and dip. My pc runs the game at a constant 250fps under fire and while in smoke, If it wasn't stable I would switch to 125fps to make sure that my fps doesn't jump about.

[cad80_99]

yeah at 125 fps you can jump to places much easier. and as i said if you are not reaching that then look up into sky that will normally always reach 125 then.
