Maybe it's another component of your computer?

Hmm, thats odd, the card you have is one the best budget gfx cards around and yea cod2 should support it, your option would to be to downgrade to a 7900GT or upgrade to a 8800GTS, but email EA i think lol and ask them bout it

That should be more than enough to play COD2, I used to play it with my Nvidia 5700, and still can.

However there are a few settings which you can change to increase the performance. I highly recommend you change the following settings:

Options ---> Graphics:
  • I played in DirectX 7
  • Sync every frame - No
  • Anti-aliasing - Off
  • Aspect Ratio - Auto

That should help you out, let me know if it does.

If you havn't tried already, try updating any outdated drivers, especially your graphics card's one.

I'd just like to throw this out... you really shouldn't have got the 8600... the 8800 is only a bit more and throws out so much steam, it's unbelivable

Anyways, good job it's working good now
