Call of Duty 2
Official website

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!


This game is quite taxing and even at 1024x768 with moderate image quality settings the average frame rate is not very high



4xAA/8xAF takes away ~5FPS from the average frame rate, not an incredible amount, but min. fps already hovers around 30.



At 1280x1024 you can?t say the frame rate is high enough to provide an enjoyable experience, these cards are maxed out.



With 4xAA/8xAF you can clearly see both cards struggling
