Performance in Strategy Games

Red Alert 3: Uprising

The game has a frame rate limiter fixed at 30fps.

The GeForce GTX 285 beats AMD’s solutions at 2560x1600 but the GeForce GTX 295 SLI is unable to deliver a comparable bottom speed. On the other hand, the latter platform is superior to the other tested solutions in terms of bottom speed at 1920x1200.

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

It is at 2560x1600 that the GeForce GTX 295 SLI fails completely, being 13% slower than the GeForce GTX 285 2-way SLI in average performance and unable to maintain a comfortable bottom speed whereas the ordinary GeForce GTX 285 SLI copes with this task easily. This must be due to the lack of graphics memory because GeForce GTX 295 based solutions offer only 896MB of memory to 3D applications whereas GeForce GTX 285 based ones have 1024 megabytes.
