Gaming: Call of Duty 4

Activision recently released Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the next installment in the popular war game series. Moving away from the World War II setting, Modern Warfare instead centers around a conflict involving Russia and the Middle East. And hey, you even get to die ... and then continue the game in the past. [Ed - Spoiler warning next time please!!]

We'll suit up today in our best cloaking gear for COD4. For this benchmark we use disguise ourselves in the Ghillie suit, load up ACT II - All Ghillied up.
I just love the game, and played it to the end already. This particular level I liked the most. Not just for gameplay, but also the intense and dense graphics utilized are breathtaking. Massive high-quality texturing, shaders and a serious amount of shadows, fog and debris are applied in this level to mask and hide as best as you can.

We started using COD4 as a benchmark very shortly, not too many results in here just yet. You can see in the higher resolutions (and that's where the X2 really starts to work) the performance is nearly doubled over the regular 3870. We can now play the game with maxed out image quality settings at 2560x1600 pretty decent.

Image Quality setting:

• 4x Anti Aliasing
• 16x anisotropic filtering
• All settings maxed out
