Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

Homepage: callofduty.com | Publisher: Treyarch | Developer: Activision

The billion-dollar franchise keeps on rolling with Black Ops 2. The best of the Call of Duty bunch, we test with the image quality turned all the way up.

Running this console port on three screens is problematic. Both NVIDIA and AMD cards don't scale the engine to 5,760x1,080 properly; they leave a large gap on the right-hand monitor. NVIDIA's three-screen rendering can be fixed by using Widescreen Fixer, but, as far as we can tell, AMD's cannot, hence why you see no results for the 5,760x1,080-resolution tests.

Examination of the 2,560x1,600 results, which all setups can run, indicates the HD 7990 has plenty of power on tap. The game is effortlessly smooth.

Comparing the Club3D HD 7990 against the two best cards from NVIDIA shows that the dual-GPU beastie barely drops below 100fps for a one-second period, but you wouldn't expect anything less from a Ā£750 card, would you?

There's no reported figure for the HD 7990 due to its inability run on three screens at the correct resolution.
