Performance in First-Person 3D Shooters

Call of Duty: World at War

Starting from version 1.3 the game allows to record and reproduce a demo. Unfortunately, this method does not report the bottom frame rate.

Of course, no overclocking can make the Radeon HD 4890 competitive to the Radeon HD 5870 which has two times the number of shader processors, but it does help to go ahead of the GeForce GTX 285 at 2560x1600. Having a GPU frequency of higher than 1GHz, the overclocked Gigabyte is not actually much faster than the Sapphire and MSI cards.

Like in the previous case, the Gigabyte enjoys a very small lead over its opponents. This has no effect on your playing comfort since the frame rates are all too low even at 1280x1024. The Radeon HD 5870 is the only card capable of delivering comfortable gameplay at the highest graphics quality settings.
