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.
We reduce the resolution but not the quality settings when compared to super-high-end cards. The overclocked Sapphire card is neck-and-neck with a stock GTX 650 Ti here, though we're adamant that it would be slower when specified to AMD clocks.
We can also look at the per-second results of relevant cards, and we choose the HD 7790, HD 7850 (next one up) and the GTX 650 Ti from NVIDIA. This graph, at 1,680x1,050, confirms how close the HD 7790 and GTX 650 Ti are to one another.
Increasing the resolution does little to alter the positioning. A Radeon HD 7850 is a fundamentally faster GPU, with most of the gain attributable to its huge memory-bandwidth advantage over cards with 128-bit-wide buses.
