BFG 9800GTX OCX Graphics Card Review

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.



With the HD3870X2 having issues with AA implementation, the BFG 9800GTX OCX is able to surge ahead when we run the game at 4xAA but it falls slightly behind without AA turned on. Nonetheless, the OCX is once again able to stay a good 10% faster than the stock card in this test.


Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts DX10



Here we see that the BFG OCX is able to use its clock speeds to extremely good effect in DX10 by thoroughly trouncing the stock-clocked card. Without a doubt, if you are looking to play Company of Heroes at the highest possible resolution you shouldn’t look any further than this card.
