Why is CoD: MW2's performance poor running under Low settings?
I am playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in 'Low' settings, I have a Core2Duo processor clocked at 2.8 GHz, 2GB RAM, an nVidia GT 218 Ion PCI x1 slot 512mb 64 bit GPU. Its more than the games minimum requirements, my drivers are all up to date and I'm still experiencing lag.
Why is this so? Is there anything I can do?
Best Answer
Your CPU seams to be the bottleneck. Unfortunately you don't meet the minimum requirements:
- CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor or better supported
- RAM: 1 GB RAM
- GPU: 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT or better or ATI Radeon 1600XT or better (Shader 3.0)

As with any game, start searching for speed by turning off anti-aliasing first, and then post-processing effects like Depth of Field and Soften Smoke Edges. These will have the least effect on the way the game looks, and anti-aliasing will yield the highest possible speed increase.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
