Notes

The GeForce 8800 GTX and Ultra put up a really strong showing in Call of Duty 4 demo. The GTX ran 19% faster than the GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB at 1600x1200, which managed to outrun AMD’s Radeon HD 2900 XT. We suspect the Radeon 2900 XT cards are being held back by their driver, simply because the X1950 XTX performs so similarly to the 2900 boards. The X1950 XTX trails the 2900 XT boards by just 11%. That margin should be considerably greater.

CrossFire doesn’t seem to scale as well as SLI does either, although keep in mind that we’re manually forcing both modes and that the current display drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA don’t provide a profile for CoD 4.
