yes i did. responded.
i think the cpu issue is that the second and third gen CPU's perform better then the 1st gen

This was pointed out to me. I've read most of it already,will be finishing it up after I post this. Lot of good information there. Read all of it , theres some links to .dll's and some other things that MAY be of help. Learned a new thing or two about DirectX already. Interesting read and maybe some help. This is one I can't believe I missed. P.M. waiting for you also.(if you haven't seen it already)

this dosent make sense. i install my normal drivers, and it runs awesome with BFBC2 but very poor on cod. i install a different driver, and cod runs ok, but other games suck! wtf? im starting to think that this is just a limitation and theres nothing that can be done.

That could very well be the case. Kind of counter-intuitive but....... What I gathered from the article was the different versions of DirectX are not "made" the same and some are ...sorta optimized for certain games.

As an aside, are you having to go through Steam to play? And do you think, if so, THAT could be the root cause?

Many thanks to Anak for that link by the way.

having messing with these drivers for 2 days or so, i dont think its an directx problem. its a driver problem

I tend to agree but , as I said earlier, grasping at straws now

Me too actually, but nothing new here. Will keep on looking though.

I'm just winging it here, and I didn't read from post #1, but has the OP checked for corrupted files?

If the OP is trying to use "modified" files from someone on ebay, well, you only get what you pay for.

My thoughts on corrupted files: BSOD While Playing LA Noire
