After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
COD: Modern Warfare 2 is a second installment in the Modern Warfare series and set sometime after the conclusion of COD4. The game is a very fast moving first person shooter that is known for its incredible single player story line and strong online multiplayer community. MW2 is one of the top grossing games of all time. It is based on DirectX 9 technology and really shows that game developers can still make incredible looking games from older technology.
MW2 was tested with the following settings. Overall graphic details were set to the highest level along with 4x Anti-Aliasing on to push for the best gaming experience.
Here we see how powerful a factory overclock can be in a real world situation. As you can see Gigabyte's GTS 450 really pulled ahead from the reference design when it comes to MW2. In fact the boost places the card just shy of the GTX 460 in all resolutions.
