Here's where it gets interesting. Call of Duty 4, a title that we've previously labelled as favourable for AMD-based graphics cards, is now stretching its GeForce legs as a result of the new drivers. So much so, that at the highest resolution of 2,560x1,600, the GeForce GTX 260 is able to pull ahead - albeit marginally.

So far so good.
