Company of Heroes
Company of Heroes (DirectX 10)
Company of Heroes is another very compute-intense RTS that also has some unique features in it for fans of the genre including a fantastic graphics engine and a real-time physics engine built by Havok.
The AMD HD 3870 X2 is never able to best NVIDIA’s 8800 Ultra card in terms of gaming performance in Company of Heroes though the gap is pretty small at the top 2560×1600 resolution tested. The major failing point for AMD here though is the minimum frame rate; there were noticeable “jumps” in the benchmarking that showed up at as dips to the low single digit frame rates in our graphs. Since the averages otherwise were pretty close, if AMD can get these hitches cleared up in a driver update performance could be on par with the Ultra.
