Introducing AMD’s “Turks” – HD 6670 and HD 6570

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 still very popular. CoD Modern Warfare 2 was also released with updated visuals but it is also not very demanding on graphics cards.  Our timedemo benchmark was created by ABT’s own Senior Editor, BFG10K.  Here is CoD4, first at 1920×1200 resolution with all in-game settings completely maxed out plus 4xAA:

It’s takes the overclocked HD 6670 to beat the GTS 450.  Let’s next test at 1680×1050.

We see that a popular multiplayer game is very playable even on midrange graphics cards and it plays very smoothly with this generation’s entry-level gaming video cards except for the GT 430. The HD 6790 is faster than the GTX 550 Ti and overclocked it is slightly faster than the GTX 460.  The HD 6670 edges the stock GTS 450 when it is overclocked as it scales nicely with increasing clockspeeds.
