Palit Radeon HD4870 512MB Graphics Card Review

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.

Even though this is an Nvidia-centric game we see the HD4870 more than holding its own here. It leaves the 9800 GTX behind in the dust and even manages to surpass the HD4850 b a good 20%.
