BFG GTX 280 OCX 1GB 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.


1280 X 1024





1600 X 1200





2560 X 1600




In this very CPU-limited game the OCX is able to stay ahead of the competition until higher resolutions but is able to keep its lead over the HD4850 Crossfire setup. If you are a WiC fan, the BFG GTX 280 is the current price / performance leader and you should take a good look at it if you are in the market for a new card.
