Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (CoD4) is a first person shooter running on a custom engine. It has nice graphics but the engine is somewhat dated compared to others and it runs well on modern PCs. It is the first CoD installment to take place in a modern setting instead of in World War II. It differs from the previous Call of Duty games by having a more film-like plot that uses intermixed story lines from two perspectives; that of a USMC sergeant and a British SAS sergeant. There is also a variety of short missions where players control other characters in flashback sequences to advance the story. Call of Duty 4’s move to modern warfare introduced a variety of modern conventional weapons and technologies including plastic explosives.

There are currently about 20 multiplayer maps in CoD4. It is very popular and there is a new expansion for it. CoD Modern Warfare 2 was also released with updated visuals but it is also not very demanding on graphics cards. For multiplayer, CoD4 includes five preset classes and introduces the Perks system. Perks are special abilities which allow users to further customize their character to suit their personal style. Our timedemo benchmark was created by ABT’s own Senior Editor and lead reviewer, BFG10K. It is very accurate and totally repeatable.

Here is CoD4, first at 2560×1600 resolution with all in-game settings completely maxed out plus 4xAA:

This time the PowerColor HD 5870 PCS+ takes the lead followed by the reference HD 5870 then the Galaxy SOC and finally the reference GTX 480.

We see results similar to Unreal Tournament 3. A popular multiplayer game is very playable even on midrange graphics cards from the last generation and it plays very smoothly with this generation’s video cards. The HD 5870 is the fastest in this benchmark at our maxed out resolutions followed by the stock HD 5870 then the Galaxy GTX 480 SOC and finally the reference GTX 480 version.
