Are you getting low frame rates in COD WAW with a 4800 series video card?

Benchmark Scores This varies from one driver to another.
If you are using a 4850, 4870, 4850 X2 or 4870 X2 are you getting similar frame rates as found in some of the benchmark reviews at 1440x900, 1680x1050 or 1920x1200? Frames rates are but not limited to mid to high 40 FPS, very low dips into the teens, etc?

My framerates suck at 1280x1024 with a 4870X2. 40-50 fps.

Lol, bottleneck or some sort. My 4870x2 gets like 60fps on 1920 x 1200.
 
Running a Q9550 @ 4Ghz. Gonna try and RMA the card, its been coming up with some horrible texture corruptions lately in cod4.
 
I get 40-60fps at 1680x1050 and it does drop sometimes to 5-10fps, but never for long.

All settings maxed
1920x1200
4xAA
16xAF

Overall pretty smooth experience. The only dips I've seen is when I start throwing more then 1 smoke grenade at a time.
