Yeah, my performance is suprisingly awful, too. (X800 Platinum). Somebody
else posted that falling back to 5.9 drivers helped. Haven't tried, yet.
Actually, IIRC, 5.9 is supposed to have problems with BF2 so I'll probably
try 5.9.

On a perhaps related note: I've been having performance problems with the
5.10 drivers in BF2: sometimes the game just slows to a 15-20fps crawl.
Sometimes right in the middle of a game, but usually right when a new map is
loaded. Only way to fix it is to exit the game and restart. I suspect the
peformance problem in CoD is the same.
