*Call of Duty: Black Ops II GPU & CPU Performance*

http://www.techspot.com/review/601-black-ops-2-performance/

For Call of Duty fans, developer Treyarch just delivered an early Christmas
present when they released Black Ops II this week. As the ninth game in the
Call of Duty franchise and the sequel to the 2010 game Black Ops, we are
hoping to see something meaningfully new from Black Ops II.

But as usual, our main concern from a performance article perspective has
to do with the game engine which has been slow to evolve over the years.
The key changes to the game engine include a new technology called "reveal
mapping" and HDR lighting. On paper the upgrade also calls for the move to
the DirectX 11 API for the PC version of the game. This means PC gamers
should enjoy better visuals when compared to those using console versions.

Thank you.
