Call of Duty 4

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.

One thing is for certain – the HD 4870 X2 clearly dispenses of the GeForce GTX 280 as the top-end graphics card of choice in Call of Duty 4.  At 2560×1600 the GTX 280 is a full 32% slower than AMD’s new card.  The GTX 260 cards in SLI are faster though by 14% or so.
