Perhaps these graphical hangs or fps drops to 0 were not experienced during the benchmarking process of this review - could that be the case, Steve?

Thank you for including an X3 processor after asking many times.
Keep it up!
And what was wrong with the 4890? It's fps was miserable

GTX465 (which you missed...again)
Q9550 at 3.5ghz
4GB DDR2 at 945mhz
Eats the game with 1080p maxed out >~60fps easily.
Why do you keep missing the GTX465? It might not be popular..but some us do own it. We just haven't flashed to 470 yet...
I've been having the same issues Elessar (Guest) has, and I've read many posts on other forums that this is a known issue, for the PC version in particular. The stuttering and FPS slowdown are game-breaking for me, I can't play it at all. My rig is only 19 months old, I'm running a Core2 Duo E8400/3GHz CPU, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (512MB), with 4GB RAM. There is no reason my rig shouldn't be able to run a game built on a souped-up Quake 3-engine, and run it well. This is a known issue that is not impacted by lowering graphical settings, though I obviously tried that at first.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't do a performance review of a game until all the bugs are fixed--as someone rightly pointed out, that would mean no performance reviews would ever be written. But a performance review is the one place I would absolutely expect to see mention of a widespread performance-crushing bug, and I see no mention of it here.

I believe many people responding have failed to realize that these tests were only in campaign mode. Maybe there needs to be a test of multiplayer mode as well?
Man, you have to have thick skin to work at TS. Nice review. Just got back from the weekend. Now off to crysis to run test for someone.
Definately gonna pick up black ops tomorrow. Looks good.
All of your test are done with directX 9 i am curiuos why? Every machine capable of running the game would most likely have directX 10 in most cases and possibly directX 11 as is my case.
This reveiew is not reflective of what I'm experiencing in game. And from what I'm reading on various Black Ops forums, there is a large percent of players in my boat. One week after release, game is still not playable.
I'm averaging around 20fps in MP at 1680x1050 (no noticable change at 1280x1024)
my comp:
Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.00 Ghz
4.00 GB RAM
480 GTX w/ 1.5GB RAM
This review was a surprise to see with how buggy this game is. It will need an update after the game has been patched for sure.
