AMD 7970HD 3Gb and CoD

[Storm of When]

I just bought an HiS IceQ 7870 2gb, combined with a PhenomII x4 955BE at 3.7ghz, a Crucial M4 ssd and 8gb of DDR3 1333 ram Im getting an average of around 60fps on a 23" LCD at 1280 x 1024? (my eyes like this setting). Since I swapped from a 4870x2 the game has become far more playabe and it really isn`t as bad as some would lead you to believe. I`m using the 12.4 driver from AMD`s site btw.

Just curious on dasstuka's CPU choice ...

Have the AMD CPU's come of age or do they still lag compared to Intel.

I have not actually fired up the new system as I am waiting on cash reserves to get the 450 + dollars for the video card .

According to the research I did on the net the 8 core AMD Zambezi is a tad behind intel cause most present day games cant utilize the extra 4 cores . But I hope that will change in the near future.
