Palit Radeon HD 4870 512MB Sonic Dual Edition Video Card Review

World in Conflict DX9

This is one stunning game. World in Conflict has provided us with some of my most memorable gaming experiences since the first Homeworld game was released and it has not stopped wowing me. In its DX9 form it provides eye-popping visuals and pushes most modern GPUs to their limits. However, in DX10 mode this game will cause nearly every graphics card to beg for mercy.

For this test we used the in-game benchmarking tool.

World in conflict has never really benefited much from lower-end overclocks but the Palit card is able to eke out a few frames per second more than the stock card here and there.
