 Radeon HD 4870 X2 preview

Gaming: Call of Duty 4

Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the next installment in the popular war game series, what an awesome game. 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. Is there anyone who doesn't like the game ? For this benchmark we use 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 mask and hide as best as you can.

Image Quality setting:

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

Ever since the April or May release of ATI's Catalyst driver, COD4 runs tremendously well thanks to a tweak AMD was able to find and apply. It is absolutely stunning to have the game rendered at 80 FPS in 2560x1600 ... where a GeForce GTX 280 does 43 FPS. And both cards are expected to be priced similarly.

Our test level - All Ghillied up - more hefty on the GPU opposed to other levels.
