If you had midrange card from 4xx or 5xx series you would see the difference.
Possibly a fair point...but the story behind that:

A month before COD's release I spent £600 upgrading my PC (new CPU, MB, RAM) and buying new joystick, throttle and rudder pedals.

As what I thought was going to be a strictly temporary measure I decided to hold off on updating the graphics card until the game came out to see how the GTX260 faired (there was huge speculation before release about how demanding the game would be - lots of speculation - no real evidence)

I was SO disappointed (shocked actually!) about the state of the game that I could never justify to myself spending anything more to run a game I didn't like at higher frame rates. And at that point even those with up to date video cards were not having wonderful experiences.

Haven't been doing much gaming at all recently so the 260 is still there - but obviously well due for an upgrade.
