Call of Juarez

Call of Juarez (DirectX 10)


Call of Juarez is one of the most visually impressive games I have come across in some time.  Set in the Wild West time frame, this game puts a bit of a spin on the classic FPS style with some slowdown effects as well as playing characters that are essentially against one another.

The main DX10-based options here are the “enhanced quality” here at the very bottom as well as the shader model set at 4.0 above.

The GeForce cards have always done poorly on the Call of Juarez title when compared to AMD’s card, but the 9600 GT has a fair showing in this case.  Compared to the 256MB HD 3850, it is more than twice as fast, but when we look at the scores the 512MB HD 3870 pumps out, the AMD card gets the victory.  Obviously here you can see the HUGE advantage larger frame buffers have for CoJ.
