Call of Duty 2Official websiteThe sequel of Call of Duty was released last year and features a whole new graphics engine which really put you in the middle of a war zone in all its terrifying glory. The gameplay is more newbie friendly with the auto-healing and easier to kill enemies, nevertheless with the difficulty cranked up you’ll have many auto-spawning foes to kill.
We've chosen to play the "Hold the line" scene which is at the beginning of the "Battle of El Alamain" level. You find yourself in the dusk racing the Germans to get hold of a little town in the desert. Unfortunately, both armies hit the town at the same time, so there is quite some chaos in the beginning. In order to have good benchmark results I started to record frames from the very first second the scene plays. You are on your way to the little town, and there are Germans on your left and right. Just let the truck driver do his work and you do yours: shoot!
Call of Duty is certainly as graphic power demanding as Quake 4 is on those 7950 GT's. It should be said that EVGA's SuperClocked card is really showing of here, what a performance compared to its rivals.
1600*1200 with high IQ might just like with Quake 4 end up with degreased gameplay from time to time, although EVGA's 7950 GT might hold it out much easier here: up to ~7 fps more in all Call of Duty tests!
