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.

As we near the end of our benchmarks, the ASUS 8800GT TOP is still holding strong against the competition but to varying degrees of effectiveness. One thing that is always a constant is the TOP’s dominance over the stock 8800GT 512MB.
