I'm having a strange issue with Black Ops. It seems that somehow they capped the framerate at 60FPS, which is no big deal right cause you really can't tell the difference after 60 FPS. My issue is, I can run around pretty much any map all the time at 60 FPS, but when I scope in or bring up the iron sites it drops the framerate to 30 and its like horrible lag. Very frustrating, to get the drop on someone and then LAG city and you get your ass handed to you, because you decided to bring up the iron sites. Anyone have a clue what could be causing this crap. :mad:

I have a pretty stong box with 12 gig of 1600 ram, I7 920, 580GTX, so it not my box i wouldn't think.
 
Black Ops is capped at 91fps by default, so perhaps you unknowingly have vsync enabled in game or via the control panel? i'm not sure why you're getting lag when scoped, but i'd focus first on discovering why you're capped at 60fps instead of the usual 91. maybe fixing that will solve your other issue.
 
In the console:

enable your frame meter with: /cg_drawfps 1
and then you can control the max with /com_maxfps 125
you could also try adjusting: /cl_maxpackets default is 20 i think, i use 50.

I play without vsync on a large TV so I keep my cap a little higher, seems to help with tearing.

You have more than enough juice to run blops w/ out an issue.
