 AMD Phenom II X4 920 and 940 review test

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2

Don't mistake the PC version for being a port of the Xbox 360 game. The PC version has larger and different levels than those featured on the Xbox 360, as well as a different graphics engine and style of gameplay.

The game itself looks great and the intricate physics modelling seen in the single-player version is still active in the multiplayer version. There are all sorts of other interactions you'll encounter in multiplayer.
For instance, aluminium cans litter the street and stepping on them not only kicks them around, but also creates a loud sound that may betray your presence to the enemy.

And here are the results done with the GRAW2 which in the lower resolutions is very CPU limited. A good example of what the processor / mainboard / memory can achieve here. Image Quality settings:

  • Edge Smoothing Anti Aliasing
  • 16x Anisotropic Filtering
  • Dynamic shadows HIGH

A golden oldie in our test suite. Extremely CPU dependant is what GRAW2 really is in the lowest resolutions. It really likes Core i7 as you can see, which makes it precisely the opposite of what we have just spotted with the COD4 tests. None the less, it's really good performance.

And to prove my point that GRAW2 is really CPU bound, check out that red (overclocked) line. The minute we overclock, we can see the overall framerate increase pretty fast.

But let's try a hot new game, Crysis WARHEAD, anyone?
