Hey.

I've had in my COMPUTER a nVidia 9600GT for two years, but lately it struggles with Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer. Some specs include Intel Core 2 Quad @ 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows XP 32 bit.


In the multiplayer, even the INTERFACE(before I even join a game) skips every second or so, and then in a game it keeps skipping every second or so. Also, sometimes(about 30% of the time) it will let me play with very little skips or lagginess so that it's actually playable, but it still hiccups sometimes. But what is very odd is that it's only the multiplayer portion that skips and lags. The single PLAYER portion(which is actually a whole different executable) never lags nor skips at all.

I've had this computer for two years and only within the last few months has it seemed to struggle. And, it's not a problem with my internet because the computer sitting next to me with a nVidia 8400GS, 2GHz single core CPU, and 1GB RAM runs the same THING just fine. I had both computers spectating the same person in the game, and my 9600GT computer skipped and was unbearable while the 8400GS was smooth.

Does anyone have any clue why this could be? Thanks!
