Though this is still playable for the most part, you will feel the difference when you played at low setting. At high settings, looking at the line graph, almost half of the frames dropped below 30 especially with 4x AA. There’s no doubt that our system is still capable of playing the game at low setting. The following settings were used at 1280×10×768 resolutions. Even games with the best graphics and sophisticated AI only require dual-core processors. I couldn’t believe this as it only used an older engine and the graphics are not that astounding. What surprised me is that, according to Activision, it requires an AMD triple-core processor.
Released in November 2011, the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 used the updated Infinity Ward Engine 4, the engine used for Modern Warfare 2. NVidia GeForce 8600GT or ATI Radeon X1950 256MB NVidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB DDR3, nVidia Forceware 285.62 Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750 Tri-Core Our system only garnered a 4813 3DMark Vantage score with a 3894 GPU score and 16444 CPU score at Performance. Athlon X2 5000+ performance is slower with Athlon II X2 250 – the cheapest AMD dual-core you can buy today while the GeForce 9600GT is somewhere in the GeForce GT 440 DDR5 and AMD Radeon 5670/6570 performance. Today, as technology keeps on advancing, the system we used can now be considered a budget, low-end gaming system. And the graphics card, the GeForce 9600GT, was considered best-value mid-range graphics card – but that was 2008. What the publishers do is that they pair a low-end video card with a high-end processor and with a higher amount of RAM to assess how it will perform, but none of these represents a “true” budget gaming setup.įor the first game in our series article and probably for our succeeding games, we used a 2008 mid-range gaming system – the time when dual-core processors and 2GB RAM rules the market – a perfect mid-range setup at that time. The problem is that the budget or the older gaming systems were being left out and disregarded.
