ATI Radeon HD 4850 Versus NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+

Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes (CoH) is a real-time strategy (RTS) computer game developed by Relic Entertainment that was released on September 14, 2006. On May 29, 2007 Relic released a patch for Company of Heroes that supports DirectX 10 and we used the latest patch to test DirectX 10 game performance. Company of Heroes is set during World War II where the player follows a military unit, known as Able Company, as they fight their way through some of the greatest and bloodiest battles, including the D-Day landings at Normandy.

The game was updated to version 2.301 and benchmarked with 8x CSAA enabled and the quailty settings pushed to the max on the others.

Benchmark Results: Company of Heroes is tough on graphics cards with the latest DirectX 10 patch installed. The GeForce 9800 GTX+ was able to break 40FPS at 1920×1200, which was pretty sweet. The Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 was able to get ATI past the magical 30FPS mark and finally makes the game playable on ATI based cards with 8X CSAA enabled.
