Back in the day, Call of Duty 4 was dubbed a title that favoured AMD-based graphics cards. NVIDIA, to its credit, rectified that interpretation with its "Big Bang II" drivers back in October 2008. As a result of recent driver improvements, we now find Inno3D's GeForce GTX 260 OC edge ahead of GIGABYTE's Radeon HD 4870 1GB - albeit marginally.
Offering a performance boost of between 6-8 per cent, a GeForce GTX 280 looks a sensible upgrade for little extra cash. The only dual-GPU solution on display, Sapphire's Radeon HD 4850 X2, obliterates the competition for an extra £5.
