Company of Heroes




World in Conflict




PT Boats: Knights of the Sea



Lost Planet: Extreme Condition




Results Analysis

In DX10 applications, the HD3870 X2 maintains its lead in some areas but it seems like it suffers when AA is turned on. I could go on all day about the minimal benefits of DX10 but I have to say I was particularly disappointed with the performance we see in World in Conflict and (once again) Lost Planet with all the bangs and whistles turned on.

On the flip side of the coin, this card shows its muscle in some areas; particularly in Crysis and Call of Juarez where it puts down some extremely impressive scores.
