Call of Duty 2

Call of Duty 2 (Direct X)


Call of Duty was the best selling FPS of 2003 and Call of Duty 2 looks to continue that tradition with a great game style and supurb graphics.  Below are graphical settings we used in our testing.

NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB GPU Preview - Graphics Cards 106

The first mission was used in its entirety as the benchmark.

The 7800 GTX 512 MB sees a 35% increase over the original 7800 GTX card and 23% over the X1800 XT without AA/AF enabled.  Once it is turned on the additional 256 MB of memory on both the 7800 GTX 512 and X1800 XT makes a world of difference as both of them leave the 7800 GTX 256 MB behind.

It came as no suprise to me that we would see big gains with SLI in Call of Duty 2 since there were specific options in the settings for SLI support.  NVIDIA had teamed with the CoD2 team to bring the most out of multi-GPUs.  How does a 59% and 86% performance increase sound to you guys?!?  There is no doubt what card the king of the hill in Call of Duty 2 performance.
