that COD thing, total BS. I have a 256MB card and I'm running at 1280x and my fps is NOT 25. That's complete and utter BS. I RAISED my resolution from 1024x768 because I felt I had the room based on my performance and moving to 1280x has resulted in NO slowdown. That review is complete BS, beyond the fact the game takes advantage of 512MB. Sure, hopefully in a well written game developers should have the brains to use all your video memory. But in terms of these charts on COD2, complete BS. Obviously the guy who wrote that review has a real POS configured computer. That's all I can think to be so wrong.

lol, I am using a standard X800XT and I have higher fps than any of the cards in either of those screenshots. How come these different groups’ benchmarks for different games are rarely accurate (if ever) and usually totally misleading? Resolution: 1920x1200 Everything Else: Maxed Out
