Final Thoughts

Atomic number 3 had to be expected, adding DirectX 11 support made Prognosticate of Duty: Black Ops II a much stringent championship, merely non to an uttermost away any means. Compared to our tests conducted ii years ago on the original Black Ops title, the instant installment saw nontextual matter cards such as the Radeon HD 6770 drop around 35% in execution, spell the 6870 suffered a 29% performance reduction. IT was a similar story for Nvidia cards, the GeForce GTX 480 was 44% slower and the GTX 580 was 38% slower.

As far as the visuals go, the updates made to the game engine have improved things, bighearted this Call of Duty game a freshman, more detailed looking. This is certainly not the post we sweet-faced last year when going from Bodoni War 2 to MW3, which left us with none visual enhancements over its 2-year old predecessor.

If the comparison serves whatever purpose, Black Ops II remains a less demanding game than the recently reviewed Medal of Honor: Warfigher which uses the Frostbite 2.0 engine. The GeForce GTX 660 Ti was 15% faster in Blacken Ops Deuce, while the Radeon HD 7870 was 13% faster.

If you plan to gamey at the popular 1920x1080 resolution (1080p) -- which is all but the same as the 1920x1200 we tested at, for performance purposes -- you leave only require a Radeon HD 5870 or GeForce GTX 480, some of which are two generations old now. Looking forrad at something more current the Radeon HD 7770 managed 39fps while the GeForce GTX 650 Ti was Thomas More impressive with 46fps.

Those look for serious performance need not smel further than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti Oregon Radeon HD 7950, both of which managed just over 80fps, while the Radeon HD 7870 made a compelling argument with 76fps.

Eve at 2560x1600 gamers will be happy with the performance the GeForce GTX 660 Ti and Radeon HD 7950 have to offer.

When we looked at processor scaling and performance, it became clear that like previous Address of Duty titles, Black Ops II is predominantly a GPU-bound gamy. Providing you experience at least 4 duds to play with, it should be doable to obtain the most tabu of today's high-end GPUs.

Boilersuit, Call of Duty Black Ops II looks like an elating prime person shooter with an immersive single player campaign, though I have to include to only playing the first few missions. The graphics are improved when compared to early Call of Duty titles though they are nowhere stingy they could be for a belatedly-2012 Microcomputer game.
