- Company Of Heroes (DirectX9 & 10)

In Company of Heroes, gamers will experience the journey of the brave men of Able Company in a deep single-player campaign that begins with the invasion of Normandy through their fight across Europe, all set against the most dynamic battlefield ever seen in a game.

Company of Heroes' completely destructible environment means no two battles ever play out in the same way. Advanced squad AI delivers startling new realism and responsiveness, bringing soldiers to life as they interact with the environment and execute advanced squad tactics to eliminate the opposition forces.

The game offers impressive graphics, especially when all visual quality settings for DirectX9 are maxed out:

We used the built-in benchmark for all tests, at 1280x1024 resolution. The latest patch offers both DirectX10 and AA/AF support. Let's see how each card performed in the Company Of Heroes Benchmark with Highest Quality settings.

The Asus EN8600GTS Top's performance was worse than the EN7900GS Top at COH with all details maxed. Under the latest patch, we enabled AA/AF and the results are very discouraging from the EN8600GTS Top, since at 4x AA, performance drops down to 16FPS.

Under Windows VISTA and DirectX10, we have more visual details available, and with everything except AA fully maxed...

The performance was rather low, with 15 FPS average rendering speed. You probably need to reduce several settings to make the game playable.
