OK, I'm now getting a constant 125fps. Thanks for your help. If anyone is interested here are my basic settings.

NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS
Anisotropic filtering Application-controlled
Antialiasing -gamma correction Off
Antialiasing - Mode Application controlled
Antialiasing - setting Application controlled
Antialiasing - Transparency Off
Maximum pre-rendered frames 4
Multi-display Single Display mode
Texture Filtering Anisotropic opt Off
Texture Filtering neg LOD bias Clamp
Texture filtering - quality Quality
Texture filtering - Trilinear Opt Off
Threaded Optimization Off
Triple buffering Off
Vertical sync Force Off (seems it must be turned off in Global settings also)

ARENA SETTINGS
Cl_maxfps 140
Sys_affinity 0
Shaders on
Dynamic lights on
screen res 1920 X 1200

Vertical sync is off - 1st thing I did.

Thanks. I read your previous posts and tried all your suggestions. Affinity still at 0, however, a new development - I made the timing in the bios apic (or whatever that abrev is) instead of pet and now I run at a constant 60fps. No faster, no slower. My question now is: is that a good playing speed? Seems like its good enough I don't experience lag or feel that others have an advantage. My maxfps set to 125 cause I'm used to quake (1,2,3 &4) lol. I'm really getting curious as to why this setup won't run it faster aren't you? Anyway, thanks for all your work on this stuff. I'll keep playing and playing with the computer cause I like to do that. And reading your posts of course.

I can play the game, but it gets "fuzzy" sometimes. The fps vary from around 50+ to 125 no matter what I set video at. However I should be able to run 4 times that speed. I run much faster than that in COD4.

Seems to me there must be some problems with quad cores. No matter what I adjust I can't seem to increase it.

I'm running intel q6600 dual/quad cpu with a PCIe 8800GTS 640MB vid card and 6Gb of OCz ddr3 1333 ram. I overclocked the cpu to 3.0GHz without increasing the fps. I have the 195.62 Nvidia display driver recommended by my card manufacturer and originally started with 151.something (I think).

I guess I'm just ****** I can't run it faster and can't figure it out. From what I've read there are others with this problem. Have you found any solutions for us?

Sorry to bother you, it seems you are busy enough but I haven't been able to find a more knowledgeble source.
