Company of Heroes

Released a year ago, Company of Heroes is popular among real-time strategists and is a heavy load even for most advanced graphics cards. The developer has made the graphics card’s job even harder by adding a few DirectX 10 effects, particularly:

  • Improved lighting and shadowing model
  • Soft shadows
  • More realistic vegetation
  • Other improvements

Alas, this is rather a formal implementation of DirectX 10 based innovations. There is almost no visual difference between the DirectX 9 and 10 versions of the game, as you can see on the screenshots:
