Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War

Dawn of War is a classical real-time strategy, it doesn’t have any of those graphics “crotchets” the previous game, Perimeter, boasts. However, there can still be quite many military units on the screen at the same time, which imposes pretty heavy workload on the vertex processors.

Geometry processing speed is one of the strengths of the new RADEON X1800, however, it still yields to G70 based solutions in lower resolutions. As the resolution increases RADEON X1800 XT manages to catch up with the GeForce 7800 GT, but not the GTX: this guy stays beyond any competition. RADEON X1800 XL perform almost as fast as the RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition.
