    Without AA? Yes, it'll probably max it just fine.

    280M = ~9800 GTX+/GTS 250, so in SLI it should meet the minimum specifications...however minimum specs are always minimum specs so YMMV.

    I would guess it will run it maxed out. COD isn't a very taxing game. Typical console port.

    I would use FXAA as the game supports it

    I ran Black Ops 1 on 5870M CF @ 1200p high no problems, 280M SLI is nearly as powerful, I doubt you'd have any problems, assuming it is using the same engine as BO1.

    I believe that you would be able to run it without any issues. Medium-High settings absolutely.
