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.

£1,600-plus of graphical grunt to render a last-gen console game? That said, BLOPS 2 scales reasonably well.

We've replaced the single-card TITAN from the per-second results... and it shows. TITAN SLI has a commanding lead over two other high-end boards. Remember, though, that GTX 690 and HD 7990 are presented as single cards.

The vagaries of three-screen rendering under Eyefinity means that it's a GeForce benefit at 5,760x1,080. A GeForce GTX 690 is plenty fast enough to play the game on three screens, the numbers show.
