Phenom II X4 970 and Phenom II X6 1075T CPU Review
Call of Duty 4
Contents
Call of Duty 4 is a DirectX 9 game implementing high-dynamic range (HDR) and its own physics engine, which is used to calculate how objects interact. For example, if you shoot, what exactly will happen to the object when the bullet hits it? Will it break? Will it move? Will the bullet bounce back? It gives a more realistic experience to the user.
We ran this game under 2560×1600, maxing out all image quality controls (i.e., everything was put on the maximum values on the Graphics and Texture menus). We used the game internal benchmarking feature, running a demo provided by NVIDIA called “wetwork.” We are putting this demo for downloading here if you want to run your own benchmarks. The game was updated to version 1.7. We ran this test five times, discarding the lowest and the highest scores. The results below are an arithmetic average of the three remaining values, given in frames per second (FPS).
The new Phe
nom II X4 970 achieved the same performance level of the Core i5-750, being 9% faster than the Phenom II X4 965. The Phenom II X6 1090T was 4% faster than the Phenom II X6 1075T, and the Core i5-750 was 10% faster than this new CPU from AMD.
