We accept changed the test scenario to the Hummer scene in "Human action I - Team Player" where your unit of measurement comes nether burn down traveling though the urban center. Best visual quality settings were used with 4xAA on a 60 2d gameplay recording.

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare two examination doesn't allow SLI to provide the big performance gains we have seen on previous tests. Adding a second GTX 460 graphics menu merely provided a 38% performance boost at 1920x1200 which was a bit disappointing. As a result the GeForce GTX 460 SLI configuration was 4% slower than a single GeForce GTX 480 graphics bill of fare. Despite the loss we still consider this a positive result for the SLI cards.
