How good will Call of Duty 4 be on these graphics cards?
hi mate


each of these cards have unique architectures,and all will play c.o.d 4 without a problem


the Ati HD 2600Pro (512mb) is a direct x 10 card ,and although the most future proof card its not the most powerful,however its core clock speed of 800mhz is the best of the three but its bandwidth is its let down


next the Ati X1950Pro (256mb) is a real powerhouse of a card,and this is mainly down to its pixel pipelines,and theres loads of them,36 pipelines infact,and with a decent 600mhz core clock and you have quite a performer


finally the 7600gt is the most popular mid range card with gamers,and this is mainly because for a £70 card you get £150 graphics,and with a 800mhz memory clock and 560mhz core clock this is quite powerful aswell,a all round solid performer


call of duty 4 will perform well on all of these cards,for the best in-game effects the hd2600pro will perform the best due to its dx10 and pixel and shader model 4.0 compliancy,and its core and clock speeds help it along with good frame rates


the ati x1950pro will probally give you the best frame rates due to its sheer power,but with just dx9.0c compliancy the in-game effects will not be as good as the hd2600pro


finally the geforce 7600gt is a solid card for this game(i use this card),by default it sets call of duty 4 at the following settings


resolution...1024x768


antianilising.....x4


antistropic filtering....off


texture level..auto


theres loads of other settings however i find you can easily increase the resolution to 1280x1024 without any reduction in performance


any problems let me know


good luck mate !
Reply:I have a HD 2600PRO (512MB) overclocked quite a bit, i'm installing CoD4 right now, i'll tell how it goes and post some screenies. Report Abuse

Reply:its a fairly hard question to answer without knowing your system,and depending how critical you are on the running of the program(graphic quality,anti-aliasing etc) i use an ati x 1900 512, 3.6 p4 cpu(water cooled) 3gb ram and the card is running with all modes on full or high quality,and its overclocked slightly,i can run brothers in arms,and ghost recon perfectly with these settings,so with a reasonable setup,id guess any of these should run it fairly well.
Reply:Well seen as tho the game requires a min of a NV6600/ ATI 9800pro, all of the cards you name should be fine. but it will depend on the rest of your system, cpu of around 2.4ghz and ram of at least 512mb for xp and 768mb for vista.........


I have the game and am running it on a amd 4800+ x2, with 3gb ram and 2x 8500gt in sli, and it flies.........hope this helps....
Reply:all those cards would to great i have a intergrated graphics card and Call of Duty 4 looks good on my computer
Reply:yes hd is like the future tech and i love cod 4

Reply:Wowa wowa wowssssssssssss...... :-)





(wowing in amazement)





Not really m8 ^^





Soz but they won't be that gr8 ....





I have a m8 that has a better spec system and the graphics dnt beat the 360 (xbox NOT Yahoo 360)





Und ja, he has Call of Duty 4
Reply:All of those cards will work very well with CoD4...the best performance coming from the X1950Pro.





To the first poster...there's NO WAY you have integrated graphics and the game looks good. Unless a still picture of a game looks good to you...





and to the guy above me...the PC version of the game looks much better than the 360 version when the PC version is run maxxed out.
Reply:You are better off going for the 512mb graphic card as this will help with better visuals. As it happens I am waiting to get myself a new graphics card to play COD 4, the card I am going for is the Radeon X1950 pro 512mb pcie, getting a card with 512mb will not only help with better visuals but it will also help to prevent lag when playing online. What you should check also is the power requirements of the cards and see if your current power supply unit will do the job. The x1950 requires 400w so I am having to upgrade my PSU as well but it is totally worth it, according to all reports I have had from my friends COD 4 is an awesome game and I cant wait to play it.
Reply:With an E6300 (2.8) Intel processor, 2Gb DDR2 (800) running Windows Vista with the resolution set to 1024x768 and no anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering (everything else left to optimum) you could expect:


18fps from the HD2600Pro


21fps from the 7600GT


45fps from the X1950GT





a 7950GT would probably run at 60+ fps





If you have XP rather than Vista, you can expect results to be better by between 10% and 20%.





If you have a flat panel monitor whose native resolution is not 1024x768 - using 1024x768 is guaranteed to made whatever you're looking at look rather poor.





Increasing the resolution to 1600x1200 drops the Vista frame rates to 12.2 for the HD2600Pro and 26.2 for the X1950Pro.





Having only 256Mb doesn't impact frame rates until you get to higher resolutions than 1600x1200 - by which time the HD2600Pro isn't playable anyway - it's the poorest of the cards you are considering.





I replaced my 7600GT with a 7950GT (256Mb) when I bought a widescreen monitor (22"). In 3DMark, it gets the same fps scores for 1680x1050 as it does for 1280x1024...





You will need to take account of whether your PSU will be up to the job - this will depend on the specific model of card you go for.
