PNY 8800GTX 768MB XLR8 Overclocked Edition
Testing - Company of Heroes
 This amazing WWII real-time strategy game is also very demanding, and will use all the horsepower you can throw at it. We're using the in-game benchmarking utility, with the graphics set to maximum for the first series of benchmarks, and then again with anti-aliasing. For both series of tests, physics is disabled as it seems to introduce a lot of variability in the benchmark results. Patch 1.61 was used. Between patches and driver revisions, on both ATI and NVIDIA hardware, CoH sometimes displays frame-rate throttling at 60FPS. Until we can find a way to disable the cap, we'll let you know when hardware is running at its limits or if it's just being throttled on the Performance Summary page.

on June 26, 2007 - 10:42 pm Here's the comment in its full context for reference: "Taking a look from a few steps back, on the other hand, this card is capable of clocks higher than an 8800 Ultra, and that's something to be proud of. (Ed: Sort of.)" Basically, the 8800 Ultra is a joke of a card, so I was poking fun at it. 3 - Posted by

on June 27, 2007 - 6:25 pm @Kurtis Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that the 8800 Ultra was crap. Thanks again for explaining. 4 - Posted by

on June 27, 2007 - 8:48 pm The problem with the 8800 Ultra is that the price / performance ratio is just a little absurd. There is no competitor to the Ultra right now from AMD/ATI but I don't think AMD/ATI is losing any sleep over that fact. :)
