Call of Duty is one of the main World War II first person shooter franchises. Now with a new twist on the art of war, Infinity Ward and Activision have brought the fight to today's timeframe with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Call of Duty 4 - Depth of Field Effect
Maximum quality graphics settings were used during gameplay.
Call of Duty 4 Settings
Call of Duty 4 played great on the Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC as the graphics engine, which is OpenGL mind you, produced cinematic-quality visuals.
Call of Duty 4 Performance
With everything that Call of Duty 4 threw at the Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC, I discovered that it can handle even higer resolutions at maximum quality settings! Multiplayer mode was smooth with no hiccups whatsoever.
OVERCLOCKING
I did not conduct any overclocking tests since the Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC is already overclocked right out of the box. After following-up on other GeForce 8800 GT reviews, I discovered that overclocking brings minimal performance gains and the Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC already blows away almost any game that you can throw at. Overclocking can also lead to frustration - especially with Crysis, which is sensitive to overclocked components.
CONCLUSION
NVIDIA has hit a grand slam with the GeForce 8800 GT GPU and Inno3D is bringing it home to gamers around the globe. The Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC is simply an amazing graphics card at an amazing price. PC gamers that are looking to spend around $250 to $300 and get a graphics card worth penny, the Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC is an excellent choice. Also keep in mind that the GeForce 8800 GT accelerates playback of high quality DVD content.
Performance in Crysis with DirectX 10 is still a little shady, but the Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC still performs OK. DirectX 10 remains in its infancy and graphics hardware isn't the best that it can be at the moment. The future holds for a stronger DirectX 10 base, but at this time the hardware and software will not guarantee an enjoyable gaming experience. But fear not. Take my recommendations for Crysis and you won't be disappointed with Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC graphics card.
Personally, I have been waiting for the GeForce 8800 GT ever since the unveiling of the GeForce 8 Series over a year ago. I have always felt like there should be a decent graphics card between the GeForce 8600 GT and GeForce 8800 GT to fill the gap for mainsream gamers. I would not consider this so much a budget graphics card, but if it cost half of what it performs like, I would have to say that you would be saving a nice chunk of change.
Some folks would say that they have never heard of Inno3D or that they would rather get a more popular name brand. But I can state that Inno3D makes one heck of a product. It's solid, stable and supported by a great name and a great company.
