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.

Call of Duty 4 -- For this benchmark we disguise ourselves in the Ghillie suit, load up ACT II - All Ghillied up. Not just for the great 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 help mask and hide yourself as best as you can.

Image Quality setting:

• 4x Anti Aliasing
• 16x Anisotropic Filtering
• All settings maxed out

If you go "Huh" right now. Yeah we know. COD4 is just simply faster on the AMD 790 chipset. We've seen this a dozen times on a dozen 790 chipset based motherboards already. It's fairly amazing to see really. But it's so consistant, that it is not an anomaly.

COD4 still is very GPU bound. A faster clocked processor really doesn't matter. The difference between a Phenom II X4 920 at 2800 MHz and a Phenom II 940 at 3800 MHz proves that point.
