Anyone claiming AMD is worthles for CoD is talking bullshit quite frankly. CoD uses DirectX and so the OpenGL thing is moot. CoD has some very serious issues with both cards re graphics anomilies, such as lines in the landscape, shimmering, poor FSAA, concrete water tiles, flickering shadows. AMD 6XXX series cards also have 3 blue lines on the horizon at low altitudes. All of these issues will be fixed in the future, we hope.

Sandybrige 2500K is the best bang for buck CPU these days, having said that I changed from an i7 920 clocked at 3.8 GHz to an i7 2600K clocked at 4.8GHz and it made not one single pick of difference to CoD. Which bears out the fact that CoD is just not that well optimised, or that it isn't CPU limited. The best bang for buck graphics card is the AMD HD6950 2GB.

If money is no object and you are gaming at 2560x1600 resolution or less then get a Nvidia GTX580 1.5GB (or 3GB if you are really flush). If money is an object then get a AMD HD6970 or a Nvidia GTX570. If you are gaming with multiple monitors such as eyefinity then you will need to go multi GPU and you can forget about going less than 1.5GB for the RAM on each card. So AMD HD6950 or HD6970 in crossfire, a single HD6990 or SLI GTX580s (don't touch the GTX570 if you are going multi screen).

What resolution do you plan to go and are you on a budget?
