Performance in Strategies

BattleForge

This game has one peculiarity: with maximum level of detail the minimal performance is extremely low even if the average performance is quite acceptable. And it doesn’t matter what graphics card is used: ATI Radeon HD or Nvidia GeForce. As for the performance differences between Windows Vista and Windows 7, there are none: the obtained results coincided with up to 0.2-0.4 fps precision.

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

It is one of those rare cases when we managed to detect more or less significant differences in the performance of a single graphics card working in Windows Vista and Windows 7. However, for GeForce GTX 295 the use of the new OS brings over a 2-6% performance drop, while for Radeon HD 4870 X2 the same change results into an improvement of 2-11% depending on the resolution. In the latter case, in 1280x1024 resolution we recorded a 27% increase of minimal performance.
