Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts

The new Radeon finds itself in last place again. Like in most other cases, it is the cut-down architecture of the raster back-ends that prevents the Radeon HD 4550 from competing even with the GeForce 9500 GT.

Spore

Like some other projects from EA, Spore has an integrated frame rate limiter, so you should compare the bottom speeds of the cards in the first place.

Spore is not a demanding application but the Radeon HD 4550 cannot cope with it right after the game’s unicellular phase. The GeForce 9500 GT feels better despite its weak computing resources.

World in Conflict

The frame rate of 6fps is an unsatisfactory result, but the GeForce 9500 GT with its 15fps is not far better when it comes to practical play.
