Ground Control 2 is an action-oriented game of tactics and warfare. As Captain Jacob Angelus of the Northern Star Alliance, you will command squads of infantry, artillery, and air power against the might of the Empire of Terra. Base building and resource-collecting are replaced with unit control and combat tactics where your knowledge of the battlefield maneuvers will make the difference in your fight against a ruthless enemy. Position your troops on hilltops for better aim or inside buildings and forests for protection as you'll need to use every inch of terrain to your advantage.

For our benchmarks, we used the highest possible settings on the first mission of the single player game and moved around the camera to get an average frame rate using fraps.

At the lowest resolutions, GCII can be played with all cards. Best performance of course comes with the X850XT and the 6800GT.

Setting AA to 4x and AF to 8x, the 6800GT dominates at 800x600 but increasing the resolution, the tide turns and the X850XT appears to be more resilient although there is not much between the two cards.
