Things between Nvidia and AMD are starting to get hairy. First AMD enhanced Lara’s locks in the new Tomb Raider and now Nvidia are furring up the canines of Call of Duty: Ghosts; which we gave a paltry 4/10 in our Call of Duty: Ghosts review. Riley, the game’s signature dog, now looks fluffier and the wolves look better prepared for the blizzard levels they inhabit.
