Call of Duty 4 – Single GPU

Call of Duty 4 (DirectX 9)


Call of Duty 4 is the next iteration of the very popular CoD series and is a return of the Infinity Ward team that made CoD1 and CoD2 so successful.  The graphics for this title are simply amazing, and considering that it is still a DX9 graphics engine, developers of these DX10 titles we use should be shamed!  If you want a great single and multi-player experience set in a modern warfare environment, don’t pass up Call of Duty 4.

The three 9600 GT cards all perform at the same general level with a slight increase in overall speed as the clock rates increase.  From the reference speeds of the ASUS EN9600 GT Silent to the XFX 9600 GT XXX Edition there is a 10% increase in average frame rate – pretty close to the 12-13% difference in clock speeds.  As for AMD’s HD 3870 card, it just can’t keep with the NVIDIA solutions.
