Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB Video 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.

2560 X 1600


Even though World in Conflict is seriously, seriously bottlenecked by the CPU at lower resolutions, as image quality is adjusted upwards the HD4870 X2 can show its strengths. As is natural, when resolution increases the larger amount of memory begins to reap benefits.
