Call of Juarez:Bound in Blood Gameplay Perf. and IQ - [gaming]
07:34 PM EDT - Jul,21 2009 - post a comment

The chaps over at HardOCP just published Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood Gameplay Perf. and IQ.  Their tested revealed that the game showed impressive performance on eight of the best video cards on the market today, even with the settings cranked all the way up. Here's a bit:
This time around, more main memory was consumed by the AMD GPU, and it used about 1% less of our CPU in doing so. The NVIDIA video driver appeared to better split the game's load among our four CPU cores, but the NVIDIA GPUs did not provide a gameplay advantage because of it. In both camps, CPU utilization was near 100% on core 0, but the NVIDIA GPU loaded up core 3 quite a bit more than the AMD GPU.

At 2560x1600, the best value for Bound in Blood is definitely the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260. Of course, gamers with 30" displays may balk at paying less than $200 for a video card, but it is truly a great performer for this and most other games, and since they've spent so much on their monitors, maybe a GTX 260 can save some people some money. You can buy one right now for $149.99 USD after a $20 MIR.

At 1920x1200 and 1680x1050, the diminutive AMD Radeon HD 4770 is a knockout winner. It combines a high level of performance at these lower resolutions with a truly spectacular price. You can buy an XFX model with a lifetime warranty right now at NCIXUS for $111.08 USD, no rebate required.
