Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:

callofduty4

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. It is the fourth installment of the Call of Duty video game series, but the game now breaks away from the World War II setting of previous games and is instead set in modern times. The story is centered around a fictional near-future conflict involving the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia, who are fighting against Russian ultranationalists in civil war torn Russia, and rebels that have staged a government overthrow in a small Middle Eastern country.

FPS
1280 x 768 86.990 fps
1680 x 1050 82.017 fps

There is not much to say, except that the results were very impressive in the Call of Duty 4 testing. Even with the increase in resolution the average FPS barely dropped at all.

Left 4 Dead:

Left 4 Dead is a co-operative, survival horror, first-person shooter video game. It was developed by Turtle Rock Studios, which was purchased by the Valve Corporation part-way into development. The game uses the Source engine, and is available for Windows and the Xbox 360.

The game pits four Survivors of an apocalyptic pandemic against hordes of aggressive infected. There are three game modes: a single player mode in which allied characters are controlled by AI; a four-player, co-op Campaign mode; and an eight-player Versus mode. In all modes, an AI, dubbed “The Director”, controls level pacing and item spawns, in an attempt to create a dynamic experience and increase replay value.

AA = x8/AF = x16 FPS
1280 x 768 112.22 fps
1680 x 1050 99.75 fps

Left 4 Dead was the smoothest run test out of the bunch. There should not be an FPS issue with this game even in the highest resolution when running the Vapor-X.

  1. Everything dynamic and very positively! 🙂
    Thank you

  2. Thanks Erik, made my decision on what 4890’s im putting in crossfire

    • Hi Dan, I’m very interested to hear if you indeed set 2 cards in CrossfireX.
      I ran 2 in CrossfireX and was very disappointed with the temps (over 105° celcious) when playing COD4 multiplayer. Of course alll settings were maxed out but that shouldn’t be a problem for these cards. I hope you had a better experience.
      I have a well ventilated cabinet and good fans, so I don’t think that is the problem.
      I have sent them back and am now waiting on a result from the e-tailer.
      I hope they are faulty, if not then I’m afraid I’m not vapor-X’s biggest fan.
      Please let me know how you got on.

  3. Rather interesting. Has few times re-read for this purpose to remember. Thanks for interesting article. Waiting for trackback
