guys my friend has just bought a new 6600gt gainward 256mb. he usually plays call of duty 2 and when he plays the game with direct x7 the game experiences loss. the strange thing is that when he uses direct x9 the game works normally without any loss. i dont have any idea why this happens do you think its from the gfx card? personally mine doesnt do these strange things. 10x guys

Why is he using DX 7 on a card that supports DX 9.0c fully??
he is using direct x7 because he plays it multiplayer and wants a great fps such as 170fps cause it makes game performance better. yes cod2 supports dx7 also. what i dont know is howcome it has loss on dx7 and workd perfect on dx9. i have a 6600gt 256mb, not gainward but another brand and it works perfect on both
I doubt its down to the card, more likely the game not being designed to use DX 7. tell him that the human eye cant detect over about 30, and the hardcore gamers eye, about 60 
and that he should switch to DX 9 if it bothers him. lower fps is better for gaming than laggy gameplay. and if his frames drop too low, get a new card

Why would you want like 100+ frames any way? The hujman eye cannot distinguish between 30FPS and 60FPS anyway
