» Call of Duty 2 Dual-core Performance: AMD & Intel

Infinity Ward has joined Raven/id in providing a patch that's been designed to deliver performance improvements for users with dual-core, SMP, and Intel's Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading CPUs. In this review we've taken the new patch our for a test spin on the Athlon 64 X2 4200 and 4800+ with four different ATI graphics cards ranging from the X800 XL to the X1800 XT, as well as Intel's Pentium Extreme Edition 840. See how CoD 2 scales over the various CPUs and graphics cards in today's article!

I'm not even gonna comment on the Intel but for me Ati is better for
these reasons:


1)Catalyst makes video playback look better hurray for Ati
2)As I hear Nvidia cards are big bulky tend to overheat and need a
powerful power supply

3)Nvidia cards cant do the same My All-in-Wonder 800 XT thats
underprice in tigerdiret/com so Ati cards are way cheaper than
Nvidia so whoever said that they are overpriced they are not

Now with my all in wonder I can record pause and watch lvie tvv on
my computer as well as crank fps on games :] so boo nvidia is
nothing but a couple of people who thought they could take the video
card world simply by putting it as many fps as they could even if it
meant overheating the cards and have poor playback video quality

This patch only works good with C3 Dual CPUs and Matrox cards.

Two things to note here:

1. Dual Processor coding is very high end, and requires a lot of
work. ID Software said that a couple years ago, and it still holds
true. Without Intel's help, ID's Quake 4 would not have seen it's
improvement. We've got a long long way to go for dual core.


2. ATI is on top of dual core. Their driver support and utilize
dual core much more better than nVidia. That's why ATI's score is
basically the only one that improved in this test. nVidia is asleep
at the wheel as usual. Much more processing prowness will be coming
from ATI very soon, keep watch.

I am with this. Most cases it made the game worse. How could they
possibly say this would improve performance with dual core CPU? Were
they going off figures from someone within Infinity Ward still
running a Ti4600 in DX7 mode? Maybe that is where the increase came
from. Who knows. UT 2007 will be out soon enough. Maybe we will see
some true dual core improvements.
