Performance in Strategy Games

Red Alert 3: Uprising

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

G200-based products are not good in Red Alert 3 but the lack of speed can be made up for by SLI technology. When FSAA is turned on, the GeForce GTX 295 is almost as fast as the Radeon HD 4870 X2 although its bottom speed is somewhat lower at 2560x1600.

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

It is not easy to beat the Radeon HD 4890 CrossFireX, yet the GeForce GTX 295 is quite competitive, even though it has a lower bottom speed at resolutions higher than 1680x1050. The bottom speed is below playable at 2560x1600, but overclocking helps solve this problem. Comparing the GTX 295 with the Radeon HD 4870 X2, ATI/AMD’s solution has a comparable bottom speed but is noisier and less economical.
