Call of Duty 4 playable even with lesser hardware |
Ó
So, you've always wanted to play Activision and Infinity Ward's excellent Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on your PC but your system just doesn't have the spec muscles for it? There may be hope. The guys over at PogHX tried running the game on several lower-end setups and they found out that it's playable on even some on-board chipsets. A Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H with an integrated 780G graphics unit and a frugal Athlon 64 X2 4450e were in the forefront of the test system for PogHX. Throwing in a GeForce 8400 into the mix, CoD4 ran at 36 frames per second on minimal settings.
Other variations were tried and the group found out that the game would still be playable on systems that could make it run on as low as 22 FPS. Of course, you'll have to make do with rougher visuals than you're used to seeing in the game. Below is a table that was included in the source.

Ive run the demo of CoD4 on our work machines, which have nothing more than onboard graphics. Tried it on one with the Nvidia 6100 onboard, obviously we had to turn the graphics down but it ran completely playable!
Since when is a Geforce 8 with an Athlon 64 low-end?
You could at least write their name correctly.
It's PCGHX (PC Games Hardware Extreme", not "PogHX". Where does the "o" come from?

Yeah right, I go the same specs of one old computer and when i try it to get on LAN, it crashs every time I start it up.
