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: Hey! You spoiler you!)

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 debree are applied in this level to mask and hide as best as you can.

Now throughout the review I will include as much cards as I can, yet I started using COD4 as benchmark last week only. I've included the results of the 150 EUR Radeon HD 3850 in this benchmark session as well. Anyway, the performance is nothing short of amazing. Up-to 1920x1200 you can pretty much max out your image quality settings and still have a terrific gaming experience.

Image Quality setting:

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