Hello,

3 months ago I went from an Nvidia 9600 GT to an ATI 4770. I've been regretting it ever since. Everything generally performs worse compared to the nvidia. Unfortunately, I gave it to my friend as a birthday gift and I'd hate to take it away from him (he upgraded from his on-board 128mb card that could hardly run CoD2). What was most notable was the HORRID framerate on certain maps regarding that ATI card issue with the water. Fixed that, framerate was tolerable and still is, sort of.

Onto the actual problem: It takes FAR too long to load a map. It takes up to an entire minute and a half to load a single map, given that the connection doesn't time out beforehand.

I can't play. It's stressing me the hell out and I don't know what to do. I've defragged my computer, reinstalled MW2 (took 4 days to download) and freed up plenty of space. I'm running out of ideas, help!

Thanks very much in advance!

Map load times are completely dependent on your HDD and your RAM.

Letting us know what they are would help tremendously.

No. In terms of how an MP game begins it goes:

1) network intensive - finding games etc
2) HDD & RAM intensive - loading the map needed for the game:
3) network intensive - as you elect to participate in the game aka "downloading game settings" etc
4) RAM, and possibly Page file (HDD), intensive as your computer "recalls" map information to use in the now synced-with-your-lobby-game.
