ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2: 2 GPUs 1 Card, A Return to the High End

Call of Duty 4

A surprisingly successful FPS on the PC, Call of Duty 4 also lacks any sort of in-game benchmark so we benchmark the cut scene at the beginning of the first mission. We start the frame rate counter as soon as we're in the helicopter and stop once the man in the chair gets shot.

The Radeon HD 3870 X2 does extremely well here, performing around 30% faster than NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 GTS.

With 4X AA enabled, the performance gap remains about the same; at 1920 x 1200, the 3870 X2 manages a 32% lead over the 8800 GTS 512.
