The sequel of CoD 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.

In the movie below I’m in Bergstein, Germany, ordered to secure the village, it involves close quarter combat, long range sniping and setting up a smoke screen (this effect is very nicely rendered).

The 7800GTX, even overclocked to 490/1300Mhz, is not able to provide fluent gameplay at 4xAA, dropping the quality setting to 2xAA made enough difference to increase the minimum FPS.

The 7800GT is struggling, overclocking helps a bit, but it can only do so much, there’s a ~25% performance drop compared to the GTX from EVGA, it’s noticeable in game.
