Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

One of the biggest game releases of last year was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. With a huge cross-platform multiplayer following, we have decided to include Modern Warfare 2 because despite its hardcore appeal to FPS players, it handles low detail settings very well.

We set Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to its lowest settings, with V-Sync disabled and the resolution was set to 1280x800. We manually ran the first part of the Special Ops Alpha campaign for 90 seconds, three times over with FRAPS 3.03 and took an average result.

The Nvidia GeForce 9400 on the DFI board sails away with the performance lead here, and although its minimum FPS is only 2 fps more than the AMD system, the average is over 10 fps higher. The whole playing experience was far smoother and easier on the Nvidia system, whereas the AMD was good, but occasionally choppy, and in general playing the Special Ops campaign on the Intel board wasn't easy.
