ASUS EN9800GX2 review - first look at 9800 GX2

Page 7 - Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts

You've must heard of Company of Heroes - famous real time strategy set during WWII. The game dazzles not only with fantastic gameplay, but with incredible graphics too. The engine of Company of Heroes shows complex light scenes, incredible explosions, realistic smoke and more, the appearance of the units is unlimited to level of detail and all that puts the other games in the genre trailing far, far back.

Although a patch for the main game was made available some time ago, adding DirectX 10 effects, only with the release of the "Opposing Fronts" expansion that support was fully included in the package. For our tests we used the integrated "Performance Test", which is very intensive and demanding to the videocards. In it we witness exceptional use of water scenes, complex reflections, lights, explosions, smoke and other effects, so it is made quite evident if your card can handle any game requirement.

The game is incredibly well optimized for systems with more than one video card. And again 9800 GX2 was the leader.
