DX10 Videocard Benchmarks: Call of Juarez

Call of Juarez

Source: Techland

While Call of Juarez pulls off all the classic FPS mechanisms with aplomb, it also features interesting variations that give it the air and feel of a true Western movie. The player has the genuine impression of being a pistol-packing hero in an age when armed confrontation was the daily grind for many adventurers. The Developers have incorporated a classic shooting system as well as two extra game modes.

PCSTATS saw some, shall we say… odd results in this benchmark. While the MSI R3870X2-T2D1G-OC performed very well and was consistently the second best card in the list next to the HD 4870 X2, the crossfire results were… varied. While crossfire seemed to provide a boost at low res and detail settings, it seemed to be a positive hindrance at the more demanding levels. We’ll strike it up to a rendering engine oddity. Obviously the MSI R3870X2-T2D1G-OC is not going to disappoint as a gaming card though.
