Uit benchmarks van AMDZone blijkt dat Call of Duty 2 wel degelijk beter zal draaien op een 512MB videokaart. Er werd getest met de Call of Duty 2 demo die van de week werd geleleased. Zo bleek dat de X580XT PE relatief makkelijk werd verslagen in de game. Men kon het volgende concluderen:
After updating our benchmarks we are left with some very surprising and interesting results. It appears that finally there is a game that uses the texture memory of a 512MB card, and it seems that those without that much memory are being penalized. ATI’s X800XL 512MB card finally proves its worth and beats the X850XT PE. Not only that, but the game is automatically adjusting the level of detail based on the card unfortunately giving the more advanced user less choice and making benchmark comparisons not equally direct. Of course now that this is detected, more advanced users will probably add this setting to the console but that can be quite a nuisance. We hope instead Infinity Ward follows our suggestion, and adds an advanced section to their graphics options to allow users to decide what visual quality and speed they wish.
