Call of Duty 5 World at War - CPU benchmark review: Test procedure
For our benchmark we use the initial sequence of "Little Resistance", which stresses the CPU with calculations for A.I., water physics and smoke effects.

Before we ran our tests, we patched our Call of Duty to version 1.1. With the console command "com_maxfps 0" we removed the 91 fps frame limit.
