BFG 9800GTX 512MB Review

World in Conflict DX10

1280 x 1024



1600 x 1200




2560 x 1600


First of all you will notice that we have not included any performance results at 2560 x 1600 with AA turned on and the reason for this is quite simple: none of the graphics cards were able to run this test at anything above the speed of a glorified slideshow. The next thing you probably noticed is that the 9800GTX actually gets beaten by a small margin by the 8800GTS 512MB at 1600 x 1200. This seems to be a minor driver issue and should definitely be considered an anomaly. Other than that it seems there is still a massive driver issue with the HD3870X2 at 1280 x 1024 resolution.

We must say, the 9800GTX performed up to our high expectations in every one of the World in Conflict DX10 tests even though it took a sound whipping from the 8800GTX at 1600 x 1200.
