ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB
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 July 1, 2007 - 1:19 am For Company of Heroes use the -novsync command line parameter. Somebody from Relic has more benchmarking info at http://www.relicrank.com/bloggo/2007/ 06/01/company-of-heroes-dx10-d 3d10-faq-and-benchmarking-guid e/

on July 1, 2007 - 5:35 pm Yeah, I found that a little too late; I will be updating the video card benchmarks fairly soon, since I'm planning on a nice DX10 round-up. It should be fun (by fun I mean mind-numbing horrible terrible very bad work) but also helpful and enlightening. The mid-range gap is just appalling, though. It's almost as if major companies can't make stream processing cards that cost right to fill in the space. NVIDIA comes close with their 8800GTS 320MB, but it still runs about $275. . . Thanks for the heads up. I'm still getting the hang of video card benches, and I'm always willing to accept pointers. 3 - Posted by

on October 25, 2008 - 2:36 pm I have been recommended the 2600 pro as an upgrade for my Dell Dimension 9150 (3 yrs old, present card X600). The XT looks better. They were recommended because of low power demand and they are pci-e 1 compatible. Is this right and are there better options in the $100-$200 bracket. I'd rather stick with ATI I think.
