The minimum frame rate occurs where a spectacular explosion encompasses the entire screen. I've included the performance results obtained with the XFX 8800 GT XXX from the previous review. While the XFX 8800 GT XXX performs admirably, the XFX 260 GTX's performance barely drops as the resolution and antialiasing settings increase. At 1920x1200 with 4x AA, we see the performance delta between both cards at 18 frames per second, a 30% increase.

Again, the 8800 GT XXX performs well in all situations in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, while the XFX 260 GTX is flying high. As is to be expected, the 260 GTX's performance doesn't drop as much as the 8800 GT's when the resolution and image quality settings increase.
