Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts DX9

Company of Heroes has always been one of our favorite RTS games with visceral firefights and a gripping campaign. Opposing Fronts is the expansion to this great game and it introduces players to British campaign to liberate France from German occupation in the weeks and months following D-Day.

In this test we ran the in-game benchmarking program and pegged all the graphics settings to their highest levels. This was done for both DX9 and DX10 modes and the framerates were averaged after 4 runs.

Unlike the other benchmarks we have seen so far, it seems like Company of Heroes allows the extra stream processors on the 8800GTS 512MB to come into their own. Meanwhile, the 8800GT TOP makes a good showing of itself by hanging on to come in slightly behind the 8800GTS 512MB but in this game, it just isn’t enough to beat it outright.
