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.

Let's have a look and suit up in our best cloaking gear for COD4. 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 mask and hide as best as you can.

Jackpot! Let me already reveal that COd4 for us was showing the biggest performance gain we got compared to any other benchmark. Bloody hell, look at that! That's 104 FPS in 2560x1600 with 4xAA and 16xAF. Brilliant stuff.
