Call of Duty 2 Image Quality And Performance Review @ AMDZone

Published by Newsfactory 0

We've updated our Call of Duty 2 demo look with more information. There were some what seemed to be irregularities in a few benchmarks that have now been cracked. The game automatically adjusts image quality in regards to bump mapping and mip mapping at the very least, depending on the card's memory, the game resolution, etc. Right now, only the X800XL 512MB card runs at automatically at the highest visual quality at 1600x1200 with 4XAA and AF enabled, the others do not and the 7800GTX runs quite handicapped in visual quality you will see.

I went to San Francisco recently to preview Quake 4 for GamersHell and was not disappointed by what I found.
