Maybe give this a once over if you haven't already.

As far as I know the game sets itself to the best for your graphix card, so I don't know what raising the options from there would do. :?:

If we are not understanding then a little more info could help.

The game doesn't even recognize the newer video cards, so don't rely on the auto-settings.

No surprise there, as you can't expect a game to know about a card that came out after the game did.

I would think the thing to try first is setting the graphics to ultra-high. If it crashes or runs slowly, bump it down to high.

If you're into customizing, just search the web for tips. There's all kinds of articles out there.

So then why can you play COD2 on latest graphics cards? You have it wrong basically it sends out the equivalent of an internal ping it reaches the graphics card the specs are then read and the game adjusts accoredingly if its automatic, if its not then it won't.
