The 8800 GTX is more consistent here than the MSI 8800GT in our Heat Ray run through, though we didn't feel that performance was all that different during gameplay. Performance on the 8800GT was solid and with all the effects on.
Image Quality
Despite "only being a DX9" title, the graphics are very impressive. The MSI 8800GT was playable right up to our monitor's maximum 1920x1200 resolution. We weren't able to up all the quality settings to maximum at this resolution and maintain consistent framerates, but we were able to do so at 1680 resolution.

Both cards provided a similar experience. We were able to play with all the effects set to high and maintain playable framerates.
Image Quality
While the graphics are not as spectacular in terms of effects as the first two games we've tested, this version of Call of Duty is the most graphically intense thus far. The fire and smoke effects are very good and with the MSI 8800GT, we were able to play at good quality settings at high resolutions without turning the game into a slide-show.
