To improve fps in CoD2...

...use DirectX 7, not 9. Open CoD2 MP, go to "Options", then "Graphics" and choose DirectX 7 on the left. Although some of you might not have that option... Some of my mates in France don't have that option. Still looking into it...

Then stick to DirectX 7!

I'm glad your CoD2 gaming experience has improved!

Christ! He knows his tweaks! Wonder if these tweaks have similar effects with DirectX 7... I'll have a look tonight!

Thanks CyberGhost!

I've noticed some stuttering in dx7 mode with the new drivers. Didn't really have anything running in the background so it very well could be the drivers.

They should rename the DX7 option to " Make COD2 look like COD 1" button
