The only card to produce decent frame-rates in Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the Radeon HD 4670.

We're impressed that the HD 4550 can beat out the HD 3650; something that's not discernable by looking at the on-paper specifications.

The two NVIDIA GPUs neatly sandwich the HD 4550. Lastly, note the horrible performance of the HD 3450.
