Call of Duty

Call of Duty performance is - need I say - uneventful. The P5LD2, while being only 3.0 FPS behind the champion places second-last. The nForce 4 motherboards seem to have an edge here.

When we throw EAX2 sound into the mix, things get scattered around a bit. The Abit AA8XE takes the most dramatic performance hit, while the nForce 4 boards take much lower ones. Our venerable ASUS P5LD2 Deluxe stays in the middle of the pack. The Intel HD Audio codec isn't as CPU-efficient as the nForce 4 audio codec, but it's not terrible either.

I do not think that discussion of these results is warranted. One-and-a-half frames per second of difference are not going to be the end of the world.
