Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

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.

Extra memory bandwidth enables Sapphire to steal a small march on the other two, and the difference is enough to make a stock-clocked GTX 650 Ti the meat in the Radeon sandwich.

We've shown the per-second framerate of the PowerColor card and you can substitute its numbers for the same-clocked Gigabyte.

An examination of per-second framerates reveals that the HD 7790 OC is no match for an out-of-the-box HD 7850 1GB. This is important to know because both cards are currently available for around the same price: Ā£125.
