IIs there a difference in graphics between CoD4 and Ops2?
What graphic card is needed to play Ops2?
Is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 sufficient?

Ok, and how good/bad is GeForce GT440 when you compare it with GeForce 8800 GT ?

 

[Carlos]

Some people are saying the comparison between the two is that it's basically a downgrade...
Members say... http://www.overclock.net/t/930866/gt-440-vs-8800gt
Critics say... http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GT_440/1.html

So GT 440 is the minimum?

I have a Predator G3600, there should be room for a second graphic card...is such a thing possible?

No, quite the opposite. What they're saying is that the GT440 is a downgrade from 8800GT.

Maybe.

Ok, so GT 440 is not enough.
If I install a second GT 440, can they work together like a better graphic card?

Only if both cards are "crossfire" powered. In other words, if it's not Crossfire-compatible, it won't work.

My recommendation is to get a better graphics card, especially if you want to play Call of Duty Ghosts.
